Well that explains it then.
Just wondering, I am about to upgrade my old faithful machine ( used by Noah
to do the Arc sizing and buoyancy calculations ), but was waiting for the
new technology to drop a bit in price DDR2 Ram etc.
I know my machine is below the minimum specs to Run RBR
But do you think I would be able to get it running at all?
P4 1.3G
512M RD Ram
GForce 5200 FX

Also what are your favourite "realistic" Sims?
