Is this pc too old for game developement?
I have a pc with: Intel core duo E8500 3.16GHz, 4 Gb RAM, Intel Q45/Q43 integrated grafic card
Is it not enough for developement with unity? When I try to import assets or create a terrain the program always crashes. I reinstalled my op. system as well (win 7 32bit). +4 Gb memory would be enough to use unity?
It depends on what kind of project you work on. If it is a 3D game, then you would really need more ram (8 would be enough). Also, a discrete graphics card would help a lot. Something like gtx 660 would be perfect. 2 cores cpu will work, but it will be tough. If you plan on also upgrading CPU, then you are better off building a completely new one (used parts are OK). But if you are going to build a completely new pc, then I would suggest waiting for amd zen architecture to be out.
I was running unity on a Surface Pro 2. I'd say just try it with the free version. Won't cost anything but a bit of time. If you see it's too slow you can still keep your progress.
Roxcoxobo said he tried running that, he said things were crashy. So it is really not enough. Sure, he might have some faulty hardware, but that would most likely make the system crash.
3D by itself doesn't take more than 2D. Are you thinking 3D = massive $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O? Sure, if a project has a huge terrain, and fancy light mapping and lots of high-poly models and massive textures. But made I've perfectly good 3D stuff on a 4gb ram machine with worse specs than the OP has.
