What makes you say that then? My location? I am a Man Utd fan as it happens.

Is FM'08 going to be multi-threaded? Would most certainly make me buy a Quad if it is so.

MarcLister · 28 Sep 2007 at 13:52

FM07 supports dual-core at least, http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/521102691/m/5932076452.

So FM08 will deffo support dual-cores. Not 100% sure about quad-cores tbh. Head over to the SI Games' Forum and see what they say.

Doesn't that break some government decency law?

it does run on 64 bit windows. just right click on icon go into properties then go into compatability and change windows compatability mode to windows xp. it will work after that. enjoy! But everytime I tried it on my Vista it says that I don't have right to run the app. :mad:

Has anyone got the torrent link file, because the link on the sigames forums doesn't work?

MarcLister · 30 Sep 2007 at 13:47

Nope. Not just me then. I can't download the torrent off the SI Games site. But that doesn't matter. I've downloaded the Strawberry demo twice and the Vanilla demo once and I'm getting Java errors that crash the installer before it installs the game demo.

Conrad11 · 30 Sep 2007 at 14:35

Went onto a different PC and the torrent link worked for some reason.

Here is it for anyone that wants it: Football Manager 2008 Demo Torrent

As any footy manager player know's it not worth booting it up unless you are going to spend a fair bit of time on it , i remember when cm3 came out i took a day off work and when i got home and installed it i didnt click continue for 2 hours :eek:

you have got to find the gems havent you
