nine_iron Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Nothing, can't do anything to that unless you replace the processor, which isnt a job for the less experienced. You would be better off spending the cash on a new motherboard, processor and RAM. A 64 bit system with SATA 3. Its an expensive upgrade but it looks like the only way.

jackleel Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 what is your suggestion. if I had to buy a new one, so on FM 2014 later a performance of pc earned at least three stars for playing from top to 3rd levels league on italy england spain german france netherland and of course my country Indonesia. at least What processor should I use ?? thank's before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you're looking towards the future, I'd suggest an Ivybridge or Haswell Core i5 processor or better, but it all depends on budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGull8559 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would save up and buy a newer system. That's a pretty weak CPU these days and upgrading ram,graphics card would be pointless as your CPU will be a bottleneck. Probably best to start saving for a new system. Unless you're experienced with buying the parts and sticking it all together your self, you can save a lot of money doing it this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Always best to get the most powerful CPU that you can afford at the time. Its easier to add RAM, not so easy to change a CPU As mentioned a news system running an I5 should be fine. Multi Quad CPU is supposedly used in someway to speed up FM processing. Whilst a 64bit operating system should be your aim I dont believe FM can make use of it currently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst a 64bit operating system should be your aim I dont believe FM can make use of it currently Agreed on the CPU/RAM comment. Still, 4GB RAM should be the bare minimum to look for these days, 8GB if you can. ALWAYS go for a 64 bit OS. No point in going for a 32 bit one when they are the same price and there are no disadvantages (to my knowledge). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackleel Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 @all : thank you for an explanation it was very helpful. I would probably choose Intel Core i5 3330 3Ghz Cache 6MB LGA 1155, is this enough for FM 2014 too ?? and with that processor still have to add a VGA Card ??

TacticalGenius Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 You'll need a motherboard with an LGA1155 socket. The integrated graphics on that CPU may run FM, but I doubt it'd be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwwfc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Buy a new system. i5 or i7 processors are what you need to be looking for, just worry about that. As has been said RAM can easily be added at a later date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flub-A-Dub Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Find a friend who knows about computers and may even have stuff to sell. Asking on the internet will just get you specific but varied item recommendations and links to overly expensive tech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
