Hey, my computer:
- AMD Athlon64 3700+
- DDR 1024 400mhz (512x2) (1 gb)
- ATI Radeonâ„¢ X600 ( 256 MB )

It this run ship simulator good?

Sorry, i not good in english =/

[Ship Sim]

Here is some of the info on www.shipsim.com
Pentium 4 2.4GHz or AMD equivalent
1GB (Windows XP) or 2GB (Vista)
GeForce 5900 or ATI 9600 Pro / X600, 128MB memory
But i think that the graphic card is not good enough.

[buskras]

thanks =)

[Ship Sim]

Any Time.

It will defenetly run it  

I use a ATI 9550 and that card can even run it. Even if it is a bit slow in habours.

I also have the same model of processor and the same amount of ram 

Just a note, I'm not saying that it will run perfectly but considered that they listed the X600 in the requirements it should run it pretty decent.

EDIT: Try the demo and you will most likely know even if it's not in the habour that I know of, the habours are thougher on the computer.

I currently have a ATI Radeon X700SE (512Mb) and the highest graphic setting i can have in the simulator is Medium

[Hudizzle]

I have...

AMD Athlon 64 - Dual Core - 4200+ 2.2Ghz

1GB RAM

ATI Radeon X1600 Pro - 512MB

Windows XP



This game runs like a dream on the highest settings.

[andy_m]

I've got:

Intel Centrino Duo Dual Core 2.0Ghz
2GB RAM
120GB HDD
512MB GeForce GO 7950 GTX
Windows Vista Home Premium

And it runs like a dream, and yes it is a laptop!

Andy

The graphic card is more than good enough! I have ATI x550, and i can play on the higest graphic!

Hey, my computer:
- AMD Athlon64 3700+    I think that one will run nice!                
- DDR 1024 400mhz (512x2) (1 gb) Good!
- ATI Radeon™ X600 ( 256 MB ) Very good I got a older one, and that works like a dream!

My system is:

AMD semprom +3200 1.8ghz ~ 3.2ghz

1GB ram (2x512)

Ati X550 (256mb)

Hi,

i have the following system and Shipsim runs on 1600x1200 on high quality settings absolutely incredible :

AMD 2600+ (2,13 Ghz)
1 GB RAM DDR-400
X800 Pro 256MB
X-Fi Music Edition

but i´ve noticed that there's no great difference between 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.

P.S.: Is the X600 limited to 128-Bit memory bandwidth ?

I'm a little lost when it comes to exact specifications with ATI cards (nVidia man myself ), but here are the full specs for the x600:

i had the x600, ( still got it in his box since a couple of days) i've got new graphic card and new cpu .. ( you can see it under my text ) and it turns on the highest settings you can have! (even the x600 did it by 1280x1024 here) now i have X1950GT

Nice setup

I've noticed that when ship sim is running, it batters my HDD constantly searching for the required file for the game. Some of you have failed to mention which type of hard drive you have. Do you have IDE ATA?

ATA is much faster than IDE. I should be getting a 500GB ATA drive soon which should prove a lot faster for games and general applications.

Just thought I'd mention it 

[Lanedre]

Hi,I didn't want to make another thread about computers so I just used this one I hope that's OK  

So.... now I am thinking of buying a laptop, an HP Pavilion dv2699 Special Edition.
The specifications is: Intel Core 2 Duo T7250,2 Gb RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.

So,do you think it will handle SS08?

[[RWP]DJM]

I would think so Lanedre, seems very capable

GeForce 8 Series will definitely help your other hardware in that machine

[Lanedre]

New question!

Is there any big difference between these two processors,if it is...which one is best for gaming?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2 2MB

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 1333Mhz Socket LGA775, 4MB

[[RWP]DJM]

Hiya Lanedre

Comparing CPU's is a difficult thing to be perfectly honest, they will all have advantages and disadvantages

I usually use Tom's Hardware as a guide if I'm not sure

This link may help answer your question:

Choose your 2 Processor's and the program for Benchmarking, then click Go, or check the chart a little further down the page

Thanks!

That is a helpful page

You're very welcome
