If you have an SSD virtual memory should be pretty fast, and you might not even notice the difference relative to more RAM.
Trenloe, isn't that pretty much true? As I understand it, the problem is an address space limitation due to 32bit system.
To take advantage of FGU, I think you would have to also have the 64bit system of the OS installed. I wonder if wine is 64 bits?

You guys know a lot more about this stuff then I do. I simply don't want to get screwed doen the road
So.. this said I'm shopping for a laptop that's going to last me awhile like my Acer Aspire did. Still using now and it's only got 4GB ram. However not too effective for gaming. Trying to stay beĺow $1000 but I'm afraid I 'm going to half to bust.Patou a.k.a: Patmaster

FG/FGU will probably not be your limiting or deciding factor when it comes to computer specs if you intend to do any other gaming with it. FGs really not very intensive when it comes to computer resources, it just has a few idiosyncrasies with the current architecture which FGU should resolve.
I would suggest you search any other game forums you use and the graphics card(s) your considering to see how people there like them.

Not really, no. RAM is a lot more efficient than paging out/in to/from the swap file on disk - even is that disk is a SSD drive.
The 32-bit address space limitation goes away with FGU - so it should be much easier for people to open more and bigger maps, more modules, more tokens, etc. - all that will take up more RAM. Hence why I said get more RAM.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

FYI I picked up a nice little 15.6" Hybrid Samsung 7 Spin under 12 months ago for around $1100US (brand new off ebay with a small discount) - 940 Video Card, 16 Mb Ram, 1 Tb HDD and a 256Mb SDD, with an Intel I7 chip. Its going great, handles Unity 5 without any issue, plus all my other professional-level coding and work duties, plus HDD videos, games, etc - I love it, and well worth the money.

Patou, if you want to order direct I've had several laptop pro's suggest XMG or Schenker.
