How to verify that your PC can run FIFA 08?

Wandering around the gaming forums, I noted a bit of confusion about the FIFA 2008 system requirements.

Here are the minimum system requirements for running FIFA 08:

• Operating Systems: Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows Vista (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows NT 4.0 are not supported)
• Processor: 1.3 GHz
• RAM:  512 MB   
• Video Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible 3D accelerated 64 MB video card or equivalent . Here’s the list of supported chipsets (note that laptop versions of those chipsets were not tested and thus not officially supported):

NVIDIA GeForce3
NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200/500
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200/4400/4600/4800
NVIDIA GeForce FX series
NVIDIA GeForce 6xxx series
NVIDIA GeForce 7xxx series
NVIDIA GeForce 8xxx series
ATI Radeon 8500
ATI Radeon 9xxx series
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
ATI Radeon X300
ATI Radeon X550
ATI Radeon X600
ATI Radeon X700
ATI Radeon X800/850
ATI Radeon X1300
ATI Radeon X1600
ATI Radeon X1800

ATI Radeon X1950
ATI HD 2900 XT

• Hard Disk: 3.5 -4  GB free hard disk space (depending on the version)
• Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
• DirectX 9.0c installed
• MS compatible mouse
• Keyboard

If you are not sure about whether your PC can run FIFA 08, i suggest that you:

• Download and install the free FIFA 08 PC demo. Check if it runs ok. The most common issue you might have is with the Video card, so check it carefully.
• Install and run the system requirements testing utility and verify that your PC can handle FIFA 08.

Enjoy!
