Amount of RAM is pretty high considering it looks about the same as Underground 2. Also, does that mean if you have a different or older steering wheel that's not on the list, it won't work?

not neccesarily, just means if you have a problem with it.. they wont give you support as it is not officially supported



1gb ram seems quite high when looking at minimum cpu and gfx card but oh well, i could run it even on my current pc :lol:

yeah, since if as you said and texture gotta be loaded instantly that not dependant on RAM size, Mhz speed however does matter...

Those are the minimum specs required to open/run the game, or just the recommended ones?

I guess the minimum but the RAM is too high..
Still rolling my eyes :roll:

Awesome job EA, once again you don't have complete support for widescreen! You failures.

Edit: Please don't tell me to use resolution hacks, I don't want my UI and gauges to be stretched out.

Edit 2: Now that it says Rumblepad is completely supported by the game (since they actually listed it), it better make use of that rumble! The rumble on my rumblepad in Most Wanted was complete utter crap. You could only feel a slight bit of rumble when you were driving on grass. Nothing more. Rumble wasn't even that powerful, even when it was put on 150% in the control panel. I also have Hot Pursuit 1 installed and played it recently, the rumble in that game is perfect.

just cant believe my computer can still support it... only the RAM doesnt meet the requirement and that WILL be fine.... except that in MW my shader 1.1 caused the texture of the road to be flying in midair... i can tolerate that though its a good game

Basically what I was going to say. Every other company out there supports widescreen, in fact the XBox 360 version supports widescreen so why not the PC version? It really doesn't make any sense, in fact the supported resolutions are pretty low.

As for the 1GB of ram, boo hoo, windows vista reccomends that much. Besides, ram is so cheap these days, you can get a fast matched pair of 2x1GB DDR sticks for less than $100. I remember spending $200 on 8MB of EDO for my 486.

I'f you're running less than a gig of ram, welcome to the future, save another $30 and upgrade.
