It depends on your budget, the best graphics will cost you about $7000.
I would wait for Microsoft Visa and Direct X 10 video cards to come out before buying a new computer. FSX, on Ultra high settings, is beyond most current computers available.

1. You'll want the fastest processor that you can afford.
2. Minimum of 2 GB of RAM(I would go for 4 GB)
3. Two video cards, 512 MB each( I would go for two 1 GB cards)

Your system is below par for FSX Sorry Crying or Very sad

It is on paper more than able if you go by the minimum spec required as issued by Microsoft ROFL

It may stagger along at the lowest settings

Im affraid that you,like many of us,are looking at a new PC

Why not have 4gb's? A year ago some would say 2gb was overkill. My next computer will have 4gb's of ram, plus two 1024mb graphics cards. If you have the money, there is no such thing as overkill.

I'm on overkill tablets, I've already a system like that! If I could afford it, I would change my Mobo for one that takes 8 Gb of mem. Solo is 100% right, no such thing as overkill if you can afford it.

If you look at all the programs running in the background, that seem so necessary, and eating up the resources, any extra mem you can get, will sure be useful.

2.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual Core
1 gb of RAM (I could have sworn i had 2)

will this work?

NSX · Guest

My specs are the following:

AMD Athlon 2.1 GHZ
512 MB ram
128 MB Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440.

These are my setting's:

Resolution: 1024x768x32
Frame rate: 15
Global Texture Resolution: High

General Aircraft setting: High

Scenery: Minimal

Weather: Medium Low

Traffic: Minimal

At these setting's it runs smooth enough for nice flying, my plane looks nice but the scenery sucks, you win some you lose some.

All that is bothering me is the insane loading time. I timed it last night from the moment I pressed "Fly Now" till the point I was ready to go: 2 m 26 sec!!! There must be something to make that less, is there?

You both need better video cards and NSX needs more memory too.

I think I need a new computer also, but I paid $3500 for it. Maybe I can up grade it. Smile

Thanks CRJ for the reminder, I had a Model II, and a Model I, I thought they were great, back then! I even had a special colour decoder fitted on the II, then Apple and BG made their appearance, and so the upgrades spiral ever upwards.

This reminds me, I have a CD somewhere, with a software Model I simulator. I used this for a while, when converting over.
