Only have 504 RAM, what to do?

July 27, 2008 12:38:06 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I just bought Political Machine, being assured that it would run on my computer. It turns out I only have 504 RAM, and I need 512. What can I do? Is there a way to install it anyway (right not the installer blocks me). I don't mind if it runs slow!

EDIT: This is very frustrating, but I know I have 512 RAM on my computer, it's just reading as 504 and I don't know how to free up more RAM. My computer meets the minimum requirements to run tthe game, yet the game isn't running.

Your video card is probably using 8 MB of system memory thus preventing you from playing the game.  Now might be a good time to by a new video card.

A new card will do him no good. It will still eat up the 8 mb, at least on some systems, even if diabled.

However, as was stated on the other thread about this problem, you can download and install it from Impulse, if that is an option for you.
