Just an encouraging heads up for everybody.
Current work in progress on the future version of SSM shows a marked improvement of the already impressive performance, so even with the tons of cool features and content that we have in store, it is very likely that it still will run well on old(er) hardware when fully maxed out. This is an early assumption and we'll come with more detailed information as we get closer to release date.
This means that we do not develop expecting you to buy new hardware in order to enjoy our sim.
Nevetheless, some, with very old hardware may need to upgrade anyway due to features not supported by their graphic cards. So those with 128MB graphic memory should move on, and also those with ancient Pentium IIIs - regardless of GHz. AMOF, we assume that most of our users will be moving to Win 7 by the end of 2010 and by doing so, will also have the minimal hardware to match it.
