    Default Anyone running ACA 2010 on an older machine?

    I haven't installed it yet - 2009 is actually running quite smoothly - but I have an older machine: Windows XP SP2 - 2.4Ghz - P4 - 3G ram, Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 graphics card. Not sure that I actually meet the minimum specs for 2010. It seemed like I wouldn't meet the min specs for 2009 - but it actually runs very well on my machine.
    Just curious if anyone has installed 2010 on an older machine and if there is anything I might know ahead of time....
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply dbrownson.
    Yeah the machine I have doesn't seem to "technically" meet the specs - but I don't really use intensive 3D or any of the upper level features of ACA so I've actually been running 2009 very fast.
    I'll install 2010 and post back with any issues.

    You will be fine, three gigs of ram blows me out of the water.

    FYI
    If you put 3 gigs in and you're running XP don't forget about the 3 gig switch. Unless you set up the switch, XP won't see the 3 gigs you have.
