You might have to wait 2 or 3 years for that price to drop. That's how long it took SS2008 to drop from Â£30 when it was first released to around Â£10 now. It's not worth waiting that long, IMHO.

Why not ask for SSE as a birthday or christmas present?

My birthday's at the 17 October, So I will ask for it

Then you say..

"Can I have an EARLY Birthday Present?"

Captain Best · « **Reply #127 on:** August 09, 2010, 13:00:11 »

Lol xD Im sorry guys... Too expensive

Captain Best · « **Reply #128 on:** August 09, 2010, 13:17:41 »

I just discovered.. I have 2.8 Ghz .. Intel i7 and the SSE requires 3.0 Ghz .. :/

Well.. Take a paperroute.. or wash some cars.. or go do grocery shopping for your mother/grandmother/aunty/elderly neighbour...

The possibilities are endless if you really want to do something about it.. and you only need a little bit of money, since you probably already would have figured it would be at least 30 Euro's anyway.. So I bet you have that saved up, or you wouldn't have made a fuss about the pre-order date..

So make 10 euro's by doing some chores.. All the racket that's been made about the pre-orders.. you'd think that some of you that now comment it is too expensive, would spend a similar ammount of time that they spend on whining about when the pre-order would start, on washing people's cars, so they can earn enough to actually by it.

p.s. 3.0ghz is for single core processors. pentium 4! i7 core is much faster that those single core 3.0Ghz ones.

Well.. I discovered it on a norwegian game site. And its a LITTLE bit cheaper. I have some cash on my bank card so I only miss a little bit. I think I will manage to pre order the boxed version

Just paid my pre-order. Can't Wait to get it.

I think the price is quite fair for what we are getting. And I ordered mine from Vstep to show my support to the company for this intresting sim despite the fact I could get it cheaper from amazon.

Well, I bit the bullet and made my pre-order....a little different matter for us old Geezers who live on a fixed income, so I'm in the pool now too. Gads, this is like being 8 years old again and waiting for Christmas to arrive. For a second, I thought I got a senior discount as when I clicked on the order button, it initially came up as $39.99 (US)! But reality set in as soon as I clicked the next button...right back up to the full price...oh well, it was nice for a few seconds anyhow.

So, like so many of you in the younger set, I too have my calendar marked for the 27th....I'm a firm believer in "Growing older is mandatory, growing UP is optional"

your kidding right? an i7 is a WAY newer and better generation of processors (as Fred had said) than SSE requires. you'll be fine.

Sebe · « **Reply #138 on:** August 09, 2010, 17:31:51 »

deltaecho is right.

Any Core i7 cpu is WAY better than the '3 Ghz P4 Intel' which is the requirement. The amount of Ghz has very little to say in this case. The P4 Intel cpu was released 10 years ago, and is a single core where as the i7 has from 2-6 cores.

Maybe the ONLY way to settle this "will SSE works on my PC?" queries is for Vstep to release a wee program which will then be able to check if your PC is up to the job.

After all, that's what Microsoft did before Windows 7 came out - they released a utility program which you downloaded and get your PC checked to see if it would work well with Windows 7 or not......

Okey.. The game is Pre Ordered

Yes, a compatibility checker or hardware checker program would be very beneficial. However the man hours to calculate the score based on literally thousands of pieces of hardware is just too great for it's purpose

I do however, agree with that

I cant wait until it will be released

Well.. Heres my dxdiag ..

You can run it great!

Please dont tell me you bought 8 GB of RAM, for gaming.. If you did then i'm going to face palm myself.

I've got 6GB and I'm considering doubling that. While ONE game alone doesent eat that much ram, throwing some serious multitasking into the mix can run me under 1GB free ram quite fast.

deltaecho · « **Reply #149 on:** August 10, 2010, 18:15:51 »

once i get back home im turning my 6GB into an 8GB.
