Are the system requirements for Football Manager 13 nailed on, or can you play with a slightly worse computer?

[Eggy]

I want to buy Football Manager 13 (late I know) and the guidelines say I should have a 2.2 GHz processor, but I only have 1.83GHz. I also think my graphics card may be substandard, it is 64 bit capable and has 358 MB of memory. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525. Will the game still run, and how quickly? Thanks

Earlier cards may require the DirectX 9.0 SDK is installed to run the game. This can be downloaded from the following url:

As you have 1.83GHz CPU speed, you will have a degraded performance when tried to play this game, or it may not install on your system. I would suggest you to install a trial version and verify how it works and then proceed.

If this has not helped you or if you need any further assistance, feel free to message me on Twitter(@NiranjanatDell). I will be happy to assist.
