Since my PC has just imploded I am looking at getting a Core 2 duo CPU with 256 8800gt and 2gb ram -I'd be interested in hearing how SH4 might perform on my system.

Any replies welcome.

I have an e6600, 8800gts/2gb machine and it runs fine with stuff cranked up.

You'll hate yourself later if you don't go 512 on the video card. I have GForce 7950gt. Running everything maxed without so much as a burp. This sim really demands to be seen with everything cranked up.

8800 GTX!? Geez, is that the 640 mb vid card? Yeah, wouldn't think you'd have trouble running anything with that. Comes in 640 and 320 versions, doesn't it?

Wish ya a LOT of luck, Mate... I am running a 3.4 Gig processor, 2 GB of RAM a X1600 -512MB video and STILL SH4 is not fun. Breaks my heart to turn so much stuff 'down' to make the Game performance 'acceptable'. I finally reverted to SH3. ALL my game stuff runs 'blitz fast', except SH4. Gotta keep it in prespective, though... it is only one (1) game...

Good luck... really...
