KenB Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Hi George, Is this a 64 bit machine? It is easier if you run "Speccy" and give us a link to the analysis. click here You want the free option. Install > Run ......after it creates the analysis report ..... Click on File > Publish Snapshot > Click on "Yes" Copy the address [ Click on "Copy to Clipboard" ] Paste it here [ CTRL + V ] It does not give any personal information - just data from the machine itself.

curiousgeorge Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 will do Ken cant do it till weekend though as the machine isnt coupled up Quote
KenB Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 No rush - let me have the details when you can Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
curiousgeorge Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Hiya Ken here is the report from speccy[ATTACH=CONFIG]1478.vB5-legacyid=2566[/ATTACH] Quote
KenB Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I would have preferred the link to the analysis Click on File > Publish Snapshot > Click on "Yes" Copy the address [ Click on "Copy to Clipboard" ] Paste it here [ CTRL + V ] You have a 64 bit system. Just realised .....are you building from scratch ? The system from the image you provide ( 64 bit ) could take more RAM. There is only 2GB installed. CPU is slow(ish) Looks as if there is only a 40GB hard drive Is this an old system that has had a new version of Win 7 installed ? Is this the system you are adapting for your wife ?

curiousgeorge Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Yes i was hoping to adapt it Ken Quote
KenB Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 You don't wish to post the link to the Speccy analysis? Is this an old system that has had a new version of Win 7 installed ? ?? OK. Based on the info I have: 1. You have Win7 64 bit OS ............... good 2. You have a slow Intel 2 Core CPU ....not good....and no option to upgrade 3. You have 2GB RAM ..... not good ...... possibility of upgrading. 4. I don't know what motherboard you have - so cannot advise regarding RAM upgrade 5. The Video "Card" is actually an on-board chip.....not good .... not easy to upgrade. The only realistic thing you can do with that system is to add more RAM - but how much is determined by the limitations of the motherboard. FIFA 12 recommended system requirements Intel Core2 2.6GHz CPU GForce 880 GS Video Card 2GB RAM 6GB Free hard drive space Your system could possibly just run this.

curiousgeorge Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Right its in the bin Ken lol so what am i aiming for 4gb ram but what size hard drive and cpu please? Quote
KenB Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Right its in the bin Ken Did you try the link I gave you ? It may well be that your present machine could just run the games that you want. Either way - The machine will be fine for basic usage - internet, emails etc. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

curiousgeorge Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 ill try tomorrow Ken its coupled to our tv the wife is watching it at mo Quote
curiousgeorge Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Hi Ken tried a few from the link no joy im afraid Quote
KenB Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Hi George There is little you can do to upgrade that particular machine. The CPU and the Graphics "Card" are just not up to it and, as already stated, they are just chips soldered into the motherboard. :( Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
