Minimum System Requirements

My laptop has 4 GB Ram

I own FHM 6, and it runs smoothly on my system.

I checked your FHM 7 page for the info on the new release, and saw FHM 7 has 8 GB ram listed as the minimum needed to run the game.

This confused me, as FHM doesn't strike me as a high graphics game. So I looked at FHM 6 and it also has 8 GB listed as the minimum. This surprised me.

If 6 is fine on my computer, should I buy 7? Will 7 run on my system?

FHM7 should be OK for you if 6 is. But under 8 GB can have a few problems (in either) if you get many years into your game and accumulate a lot of data. Not a graphics issue, the game just starts to eat a lot of memory after multiple seasons. We made some improvements there in 7 so you'll be able to play later without running into the problems, but not to the point where we're comfortable saying 4 GB is perfectly reliable to play with.
