Well I seemed to have summed it up in the title.

What would the system requirements be to load up the "works?"

I did a search but could find nothing on this topic when it comes to Football Mananger 2008.

Anyone have an idea, or maybe an estimation for me?

my computer sucks i load 5 leagues usually just the 2 highest divisions and about 20 odd nations players and my computer STRUGGLES

Maybe, just maybe ... but I have my doubts.

A top of the range domestic computer could possibly start the game but it would be painfully slow while processing and your save game woul;d be enormous. Is this a theoretical question or one that you are actually considering- if so, why?

My laptop is old and decrepit. Upped to 1.28GB RAM, but it struggles to run three leagues. Even on one league, it can take 20 mins to run through two lots of U21 internationals plus the senior squads.

Am on the verge of buying a new dual core baby with 2GB. I here they are the dog's footballs.

Dang it - lazy fingers. *HEAR*

Well if we assume the processing power doubles every year (it doesnt really but its easier this way) it should take around 5 years for you to be able to buy a computer that is able to run all of the leagues in a playable way.

I am running it on an AMD4400 2.2ghz with 2gb of ram and it is still slow running 1 division from spain, italy, croatia and russia .
Maybe there are some coding issues on the engine considering the fact that i play X3-reunion on full detail with TV like performance.

I run more than that on my 2nd pc which is 2.4ghz with 1gb ram and run all English/spanish/Italian and Scotland games with 4 other countries on view and it runs pretty well.
