PC Spec. requirements for UB3

[jbtaylor1103]

Any idea on what the pc requirements will be for Universe Sandbox 3 when it comes out? More, less, or the same? I would normally guess more but having seen how it's being completely rewritten in another language, I'm not sure.

To put it into context, I'm on a laptop with a 2nd-gen i7 quad-core (2.9GHz) and a 2GB NVidia GeForce GT540m GPU, and I can run UB2 sims just fine with dust multiplier up to around 3 before the frame rate drops below 20. At Dust Multiplier = 5, frame rate drops to about 7 or 8.

Any thoughts, let me know!

HEY - I Damn Hope it will still Run on Windows XP./
I don't want to have to change that -

If I had to change that - It would cost me a Fortune, to have to change all of my Other Software as well.

if you can run us2 us3 will work. also us3 should support multicore

[jbtaylor1103]

Ok that's good. Wait, US2 doesn't support multi-core? So it's only using 1 of the 4 (or 8 if you count hyperthreads) cores?

yes it is only running on one.
