I hav recently installed simcity 4 on my system
My sys config ::
P IV 1.6 , 384 SDRAM , 40 GB HDD(10 GB Free) , 128 MB NVIDIA GEFORCE FX5500(Direct x 9.0c installed) , DVD WRITER.
Game requirement::
- Minimum System Specs
CPU: PIII 500 or equivalent
RAM: 128MB
Video: 16MB supported Direct3D capable video card with DirectX 7.0
compatible driver
Disk Space: 1GB
