  • What are the real system requirements?

    I am thinking about picking this up, foolishly. What are the real system requirements?

    My computers aren't all that strong.

        The 768 MB requirement for Vista is, let's say, extraordinarily optimistic. Vista itself is fairly slow when running with less than 1GB of RAM (and you want more than that anyway), I can't imagine Spore on Vista being smooth at 768 MB.

          Actually it's about right if you only use Home Basic.

          Any of the versions that use Aero need a hell of a lot more (on top of the V-RAM)

            I got myself a new desktop a few days ago, so I'm enjoying this beast in full detail with no hickups whatsoever.
