512 meg of system ram?

[Lonehunter]

Is this good news or not?

[Subliminal]

no with that system you definatly will not be able to run this game at all. Sorry

[Nightmare]

yeah, what subliminal said. My coputer is almost the exact same as yours, except we upgraded from 64MB to 256MB. Mine is on the verge of death, I have about half a gig left on the HD, the computer is awful. Fortunately, we were able to pressure my dad into getting us a new comp. 2.5GHz, 512MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB. I'm gonna get a vid card, but I can't decide on what to get, and everyone here is split on Radeon or GeForce. I either get the waterd down 9700 Pro (aka 9500 Pro) or the a Geforce 4 Ti4200 w/ 128MB. I'm having such a hard time choosing. drivers or performace? AHHHHHHH!!!

768MB means you have a 512 and a 256 stick. PC mobos don't like non-identical sticks of RAM. Also, the more sticks you ahve, the farther out you go from the 0/1 slot (depending on naming), the worse performance you get out of your RAM, although it is all dependent on the motherboard.

Lonehunter, I didn't even know they made 64MB RAM sticks anymore, how old is your computer?

PS Requirements

1000MHz or faster processor
512MB RAM minimum
GeForce 4 Ti4200 or equivalent card minimum

If your computer doesn't exceed that, consider
a) new computer
b) upgrading
c) playing solitare on your computer instead of PS

Exactly, swap is a total killer of everything. Who ever invented it in the first place should be shot (repeatedly).
Hail 1024MB+ RAM

Lonehunter187, as the rest have said here your computer will not be able to run PS.. You will need to buy new major components, you can keep your monitor, keyboard, mouse, HD's, disk drive, CD rom. I highly doubt you can use your cabinet or psu.... Make a post here or on the tech forum if you want some tips on cheap systems.. cheap here beeing around $500-600... Sorry but thats how much you're gonna have to spend to get an enjoyable experience out of PS.

I have 512, and I am upgrading it, and my video card at the end of the summer. To a geforce instead of ati.

You guys don't know how serious I am.

Edit: I once cut off the tip of my middle finger for ten dollars.

Even contemplating hurting yourself over the spec of your computer is borderline mentaly ill.
Abusing your body isn�t funny man; you got 10 fingers for a reason.

anyway, If you want some cheap computer stuff check out Ebay or another auction site, there�s sometimes cheap things there (like a Radeon 9700 for only 200 pounds) Dabs.com's auction page is good for that too, they auction off stuff every now and again. All auctions start at $1. Some guy got a flat screen monitor for �50. Good deal IMO.

Get a Job, Work your ass off for a few months, get a Kick ass Computer than you can be proud of
And don�t cut off anymore of your fingers.

[Lonehunter]

It was only the TIP of my finger, no big deal.
