I dont think CPU is going to give you trouble. I guess if you can run the demo you're fine. Tho you do need memory and not just for FM, since with 200something RAM you can barely run... er... anything.

anyway
it needs about 640 MB ram
also when ingame and want to choose leagues it will tell you how will this work with your game

Uh, it doesn't NEED 640MB, I run it with 512 and it's fine, but that's the unpatched version (I've heard the patch slows things down a lot, and I'm waiting for the next one anyway).

Of course, the more RAM you have, the better it is.

A bit late, but I found the pre beta version of the still unreleased FM Genie Scout 2008. It works pretty fine for me.

How to use
Unzip the FM Genie Scout 2008 folder, then run the FMGenieScout.exe file that you will find inside of it. No installation needed.

History and Credits
This software is created by Eugene Tarabanovsky. Eugene is from Ukraine and one of the most popular personalities throughout the FM community for his stunning work with FM Genie Scout 2007.

Kudos
Thank you Eugene for keeping up your great work and for giving the new scout utility to the world as a freeware once again!!

A Big Request
Please don't send any emails to Eugene with bugs of this program. The developer is aware of everything and you can always use the forums to post your bug findings.
Screenshots

Current Status
The current version is limited in functionality (beta 2, build 83), and you all know what the word beta means. You are using it at your own risk and that is as beta testers.

Know Issues
See the forum post FM Genie Scout 2008 Bugs and Workarounds for reference.

Your best bet to get this beta version working
1. Make sure you have FM08 and not WWSM08
2. Make sure you disable "Compress Saved Games" within the Game Preferences and Confirm it
3. Install latest official Patch 8.0.1 (and not one of the beta patches) [after that, you should have version 8.0.1 114310]
4. Start a new game with Patch 8.0.1
5. Save your game and Load it in FM Genie Scout 2008

Why you have this download and not genie.fm?
The file might have been leaked through the official SI forums, but it was Eugene himself, who uploaded the file online, in the known download folder of FM Genie Scout 2007. And of course, FM addicts were spying on this, until recently unprotected, folder all the time. The file was already available from Rapidshare (and still is) before we added it here.
You won't find it on the official Genie site, until all critical errors get fixed first and a new more stable beta will get out.

Compatibility
- This version seemed to be compatible with latest patch 8.0.1 (8.0.1.114310) and new games with the patch update. This means it wouldn't work with 8.0.0 or 8.0.1 for a game started in 8.0.0. However, some users reported that it worked for their 8.0.0 save game.
- Compatible with Windows Vista. However, Vista users should right click the downloaded FMGenieScout.exe file and run as Administrator, as well as running FM2008 as Administrator (otherwise Genie Scout won't be able to access the protected memory area of FM2008 - that's the way that viruses/trojans traditionally install themselves into other programs on your computer).
In addition, Vista users should also turn off User Access Control (UAC - Google "Turn off UAC" if not sure) if they are still having problems.

which aparently works only if your save game is not older than 6 months in-game

I'm in February 2008 and still works fine. But you have to deselect the compress save game function in order for it to work.

board confidence not fixed, great... oh well, I was never too much into FM careers anyway.... I just hope it doesn't affect SG Utd greatly...

Yeah what's wrong with the confidence? Good addition to FM08 in my opinion, seems to work well.

If it worked, it'd be a great addition. My main concern with it, as I rarely play lower league clubs, is the board expecting you to reach cup finals as Liverpool. It doesn't seem to matter if we were knocked out by Arsenal after penalties in the League Cup playing with youngsters, the board will be quite annoyed, and won't even remember a CL win... Or signing youngsters, then having them come on at the 80th minute, get a 6 rating and have the supporters think he's a bad buy....

Hardly game breaking, but it could lead to contracts not being renewed/manager getting sacked. Still, I only say this because I've had it in 8.01, and it led me to going back to 8.00... and there's no mention of it being fixed for 8.02...

When I've had time to play a whole season with the 8.02 patch, then I'll be able to give more info...
