To be honest I just put those 2 graphic cards as examples. I am really after advice on wether cards like these will give me a full experience or not? Or if there are better ones etc...

Sorry I posted in the wrong forum area. I was wondering if you could post my post in the hardware software area for me, please. It doesn't seem to have had much response where it is currently. Apologises to those who have posted.

I have a question about the amount of free hard disk drive which is needed for this game. Is it really 11GB??? Because when I asked my friend who already has it how much does it weights he said it's around 7 GB. So what is the real size??? It surely doesn't need 4 GB of artificial memory(in polish it's plik wymiany lub stronicowania, in english I'm not sure).

I may be wrong, but I think the extra four gigabytes is for temporary files when installing the game. You have to have that much free to set everything up, but in the end it will only use seven gigs on your drive (unless you unpack your datapacks, in which case it will be considerably larger).

Thanks for help. Do you know if there are any possibilities during instalation- can you choose from medium, small, full instalations or sth like that?

**Laconic** · 01-06-2007, 21:55

Nope. It's been years since I've seen that sort of option on a game, you have to install everything.

That sucks. I have a small 40 GB disk divided into to parts and on the part where the system is I can make at most 10 GB free space :/ It's not only my computer.
