I see quite a few threads where people are trying to compare their systems with other peoples before they start a new game to try and figure out what amount of leagues and database size to run to suit a speed they are happy with.

I'm also quite interested to know other peoples views on this as Im waiting for the patch before I start a game of FM08 and I also recently got a new laptop.

So I thought a thread where you could post your:

*PC/laptop Specs
*How many leagues you run
*Database size
*How long it takes you to complete a season (game time)

would be a helpfull guide for those starting a new game.

Thanks :thup:

An almost identical thread started by myself.

I didn't see your thread sorry but you have to admit theres alot of waffell in here and not much useful info so I was hoping that if people answered the 4 basic questions on mine it could be very helpful but I know the chances of that happening on these forums are very slim because people always feel the need to make stupid comments for some reason. So please try and stick the point if you feel the urge to post in here :thup:

I think we both agree there should be a sticky on this subject?

Well to your questions.

*PC/laptop Specs
I'm not really clued up on this so I'm not sure tbh.

*How many leagues you run
I tend to just run all the leagues of one country, usually England and the game goes along just fine for quite a while.

*Database size
Large.

*How long it takes you to complete a season (game time)
probably anything from 20-30 hours, depending on the type of game and how the season is panning out.

*PC/laptop Specs
Intel Due 6600E
4 Gigs Ram (only using the 2.8 Vista lets me use)
Vista ultimate
umm, I think thats all the info you need.

*How many leagues you run
13 Nations
16 Leagues

*Database size
Large

*How long it takes you to complete a season
No idea, i'm a tweaker so I spend a lot of time each season.
aka 13 hours played and only at 16 league games completed.
I could sim a season if you would like?
