Lower Leagues Rule Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 How would this perform?Dell XPS 17 Intel core i5 480m 4gb ram nvidia GT 435M 500gb 7200rpm hard drive Thanks Pretty sure it would have no issues at all, it is a reasonable processor with good levels of RAM. I have a XPS15 with a i7 Q840 with 8GB of RAM and I can run with ease over 200,000 players and many leagues on full detail, some game days run into a bit of slowdown because of the large number of games processing, but in general no major issues. With your set-up you can probably run a game with 100k players and several leagues, less detail would make game days process faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Free Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Lenovo's CPU is better than Acer's.Do you need dedicated GFX? If not, get the £480 one. The integrated can easily run FM 3D on high. FM's probably about as advanced as my non PS3 gaming goes, apart from the odd burst of Trackmania here and there, so I think I'll go with the integrated. Cheers.

StevoRobbo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Ishu, ive readmost of the thread and Ive basically got my answer with regards to FM but I hope you can help me in another area. Im stuck between two computers but as my GF plays Sims 3 with all the expansions (and any future expansions) im wondering which would be the best. Both should satisfy me for FM. a) http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/barebones/Novatech/BB-1094G.html Description AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Cache 3MB Clockspeed 3.2Ghz Manufacturer AMD No. of Cores 6 Memory Speed 1333Mhz Description 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory OR b) http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/barebones/Novatech/BB-I52400.html Description Intel Core i5 2400 Processor Cache 6MB Clockspeed 3.1GHz Manufacturer Intel Memory Speed 1333Mhz Description 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory Both are barebone packages and I will be adding 2 x 250gb HDD and will have Windows 7. I do not have a graphics card so I will be using the onboard graphics (might be a problem for Sims?). Basically it will only be used for FM, Sims 3, music, films, Microsoft Office (for assignments and PP). Nothing really taxing. Any help would be appreciated.

Ishu Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Second one is better but it won't overclock. But I don't like that "Novatech Power Supply". You can get better quality stuff for less price if you buy them separately. And Sims will run. Probably on medium. 60+ leagues on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is save game, with ALL leagues loaded: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y3XSGK12 All you have to do is go on holiday for a week, and measure how much time is needed for processing. It's important not to resign from current club, as it affects processing speed a lot. It takes just under 7 minutes for my Phenom II X4 @ 3,6 GHz to finish the processing.

crouchaldinho Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Looking for some technical help if possible. My laptop is ******! Last night, my laptop was working fine. This morning, I go to power on and it gives me the old black screen routine. Just wouldn't boot up. I've spent all morning trying to find out what's wrong with it. Eventually, I tried removing the RAM as a last resort. Found out that one of the RAM slots appears to be the issue. It'll boot up fine when one particular RAM slot is empty. I've no idea how this has happened. It was working absolutely fine last night. Both sets of RAM appear to be fine (they both work separately in the working slot). The dodgy RAM slot in question actually doesn't feel right. When I go to click the RAM into place, there isn't that satisfying 'click'. Something isn't quite right. The RAM slots in but there is no 'click' into place. This could be the beginning of the end for my laptop. I've had it since 2007. To be honest, I think the fan is broken as well. It seems to be constantly whirring. Sometimes the whirring can be quite loud and it can buzz a bit too. This tends to be when I've got a few applications open or when I am doing several things at once. If I have a few things open, it sounds a bit like an aircraft taking off! I do get out the hoover see if I can suck up any dust from the bottom of the laptop on a fairly regular basis though. Lately it has been making less and less difference. Maybe the bearings in the fan have gone or it's just broken. I use my laptop a lot, esp. for FM, so I wonder if I have just knackered it! Could the fan issue be related to the RAM slot thing? Would appreciate it if people could advise if it is just time for a new laptop or if this one is salvageable in any way (i.e. is it possible to fix the RAM slot or the fan?) Pretty gutted right now. Can't really afford a new laptop. Any help appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 It takes just under 7 minutes for my Phenom II X4 @ 3,6 GHz to finish the processing. Should take around 4 at stock for 2500k and 2 with 2600k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Maybe the bearings in the fan have gone or it's just broken. Possible. Might be a loose screw. Should be fixable. I use my laptop a lot, esp. for FM, so I wonder if I have just knackered it! Could the fan issue be related to the RAM slot thing? Nah! not related. (i.e. is it possible to fix the RAM slot or the fan?) Fan can be fixed/replaced by opening the laptop. Can't say about the RAM slot though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks for replying to my earlier post Ishu. I think I have improved things with the fan by removing it and giving it a good clean out. Any idea what happened to the RAM slot though? Pretty gutted about that. I've still got one 2GB stick in, so it's not too bad, but I just hope the second RAM slot doesn't go as well, otherwise I'll be screwed to put it bluntly!

ElJaffacakeo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hey, I would like to know how many leagues I would be able to reasonably load - Im running a Dell Inspiron Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Laptop, Inter Core 2 Duo T4400 @2GHz with 4gig Ram. If I select 5 leagues (Scotland, England, Italy, Spain and Germany) the estimated speed goes down to 1 and a half stars, but I want more leagues cos it is just too unrealistic! I would like to add Sweden, Holland, Belgium, South Africa, Brazil and Argentina to that list too, at this point it goes down to half a star. Surely not that bad!? Any help much appreciated!
