Here you go it should be attatched. Thankyou

Hmm.... your laptop might struggle a bit, as your CPU isn't quite up to the minimum spec, but it should run at least

I know i will need to get some more RAM but will it be fine for graphics etc, i am not so bothered about the graphics being absolutely spot on i just want to be able to play the game. So will it play fine if i just increase the RAM?

white runner · « **Reply #103 on:** March 29, 2008, 19:34:42 »

Well you are running Vista and more RAM is always welcome where Vista is concerned, so yes some RAM may help, but your CPU (processor) may struggle a tad. It should be able to play SS without too any problems though, just not on full graphics

Is there any way i can increase the performance of my processor then. Thanks for your help, can't wait until it arrives and i can get started.

white runner · « **Reply #106 on:** March 29, 2008, 19:47:25 »

Hi Chris.

A crossfire bridge is a cable that connects two crossfir graphics cards so that you can produce a "nearly twice as good" graphics card.

For details of crossfire, see:
http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/faq.html

For the bridge, see:

I am a member of various other forums but i have never come across one which is so strict and everyone seems to 'argue' against each other Cheer up guys.

I don't really know. I've never tried any of them, and I haven't seen any reviews. I know that when I got the 8800 GTX, it was a bit tight in my PC. The crossfire cards may be bigger, but I'm not sure.

I Use ATI Reardon HD RX 3870 card 512 mb memory and works perfect to ship simulator 08 and all add ones

On what do you base that short comment?

It seems to me that the 8xxx range outperform almost everything else.

These quircky one-liners are good and well, but could you please motivate your opinion of Geforce videocards..?
