RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Do you have anything else running while you try to play? You may have to disable a Virus Scan or something. I know I sometimes leave MSN open while I play (NHL 2004)and it will lag if I get a message during the game.That Hardware looks like mroe than enough to run the game.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 says 256 is minimum on requirements If you turn all of the details down to the lowest setting, minimum "may" work. Otherwise, upgrade your RAM. It's the biggest boost you can give your PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gongshow11 1 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 do i just buy ram and put it in the comp myself? liek manually int he comp i have some kid that can do that, and how much is ram usually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 More RAM. I'd go to 756 if possible. Cripes...that's a lot of RAM.I've got a P3-500 with 384 RAM. The Min Req listed for NHL 2004 is P3-700 with 128 RAM. Mine runs fine, with all details 100%.yglod11...depending on what config your machine is...I've seen DDR RAM for $110.00 Can (512 Meg). It's pretty easy to put in, but if you've never done it before you can wreck it if you do it wrong....most places that sell it install it pretty cheap.

Vapor 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 www.crucial.com. I would get a gig min if your going to do any gaming. Its VERY simple to do. If you can put in a plug, you can do this. Crucial will really help u step by step, on what kind to buy (with the correct latency, etc). Its great, and its good ram too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
