@Bongazi: I have my doubts. A FX5200 simply wont do it.

Just to be sure, try the demo Bongazi. You might have a nice surprise. If the demo runs well, the full game will too. (details will of course have to be set to the minimum)

I don't understand why.. They don't have to spend so much energy making it.
A single race would be enough. |

Its not Cyanide who decide though - its Focus, the publisher. And it seems they don't want to affect pre-hype sales by releasing a demo before release  |

Strategy. They want to release the demo when there's the most attention to cycling = during Tour de France. The loyal fans buy the game no matter what - they don't need a demo - whereas they can attract a lot of new gamers by releasing the demo during Tour de France and advertising for it. |

Hi!
I'm pretty bad when it comes to computer stuff, and i don't even know if I've found the right things. But I'm curious if my laptop can take the game, but I do have some bad suspicions it wont.
Mobile AMD Sempron(tm)
Processor 3600+
1,99 GHz, 896 MB RAM
I don't know if this is what you need to know, but I hope I'm on the track at least ...
Did it say anything about my laptop's chances to take the game?
I'm prepared for bad news ... |

If the 896 MB RAM is the RAM of your computer and not your graphics card, you're screwed |

A good reason but shouldt they release an early demo for the loyal fans as well? I find that reasonable |

Maybe at the lowest graphic with no spectators, forest and cities |

how the hell do you get 896 mg ram?
did you add to your 512 mb some 64mb and 128mb ram?
normally you either have 512 mb ram/1024/2048/....

What about this:
Evo D510 CMT
Intel (R)
Celeron (R) CPU 2.50GH
2.50 GHz, 512 MB RAM
... I think I just realized it's a country mile from good enough, but I still have to ask the experts!  |
