Dart is infamous around these parts
Default FM 2008 Computer Benchmark

Hi, Reading this post: http://community.sigames.com/eve/for...1/m/4162001253
I came up with a idea, it´s simple:
-Start a new game
-Choose England All divisions
-Medium database
-Untick the box "Allow transfer budget..."
When the new game is loaded:
-In options/detail level Set the club competitions and International competions to Maximum and confirm.
-Start unemployed
-Now go on holiday until 31 august, without interfering.
-Start the stopwatch
-Post your results and computer specs here:

Mine:

AMD X2 6000
2 GB DDR2 667
HD SAMSUNG SATA2 7200RPM
WINDOWS XP SP2

My time:
35 min. 28 sec.

I have noticed that this years version use much less RAM than previous years (Kudos to SI, cause all other games just **** with our pockets asking for more & more ram, cpu,...).
And like SI said before, the save & load times are much better !!!

Sorry for my bad english, it´s not my native language...

What do you mean, sorry for your bad english? Your English is better than a lot of English people!

Good idea, but I don't have enough RAM to start the experiment in the first place.

Aye, i've noticed this version of FM doesn't use as much memory as FM 07.

I think this is a great idea

An even better idea is to do the same with FM2007 for an even better comparison

Dart - Yep your written english is fine and I agree with Sciag, well done!

NB- My real game has all leagues loaded on a large database -although only about 12 playable. So you should be able to do the same.

Thanks for running the test. It helps my decision when picking a new CPU.

It shows that Quad Core is the way to go.
