Dj Hammers Posted August 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 7, 2009 Hi everyone. I'm getting a new computer and I'm wondering how good it can play stuff like World of Subways 1, City Bus Simulator 2010, Trainz 2006, OpenBVE and BVE4. Here are my specs: Dell Inspiron 537s PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q8200 (4MB L2, 2.33GHz, 1333FSB) OPERATING SYSTEM Microsoft Windows® XP Professional SP3 (Vista 32-bit Business Downgrade to XP) MEMORY 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2 DIMMs HARD DRIVE 320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ OPTICAL DRIVE 16X DVD+/-RW Drive VIDEO CARD ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB Thanks to whoever answers.

mark1447 Posted August 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah! And since u got Core 2 u can go x64 and get Windows 7 instead of old XP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted August 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2009 My only suggestion would to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM. That helps dramatically. I'm not sure if the 32-bit Windows can address 4GB, so if it can't, try 3GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Hammers Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted August 7, 2009 I actually want to keep XP to maintain rock solid compatibility with BVE4 and Trainz. I don't need a lot of RAM since XP as an OS uses less RAM anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted August 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 7, 2009 32 bit OSes regardless of which be it Mac OS, Windows, Linux cannot fully address 4GB of ram. You would need a 64 bit OS to fully take advantage of 4GB and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messino Posted August 7, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 7, 2009 Theoretically since it is a 32 bit processor it would be, 2^32 = 4294967296 bytes = 4GB but it is really somewhere around 3- 3.5 Gigs of RAM. The rest wont be allocated like Y2Julio said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj Hammers Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah 32-bit is fine because some stuff like openbve and trainz have problems on 64-bit. Memory shouldn't be an issue anyway since I got XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
