do you think the title "HI" would do you any good? make the title more specific. also, this is the FS2004 SECTION!! you should have posted it in the hardware section or something like that!! NOT SO FAST! dont make a new topic of this in the hardware section, thats a waste. also, edit your post and change the title, and let the moderators move it for you. but DONT DO THAT AGAIN!!thats not good. learn this so your life will be easier in the forums

Those specs should be fine. What kind of CPU do you have? 2.20 doesn't tell me anything.

I am assuming his *2.20* is his speed. Not very fast. However, there needs to alot more info than that. Such as bus speed, etc.

Your only as fast as the slowest part you have installed.

Yeah, more info is required. You know the clock speed number varies between Intel and AMD CPUs.

For what you want, adding the memory to 2 g, isn't going to help you any. As well as the G-card.

I would suggest building a new system from scratch, rather than trying to add patches to an obsolete system you have now.

Sorry if this offends you, just my honest opinion.

OK, but Is it alright just for a normal flight Sim experience, and could you tell me what I should get if I start from scratch?

You need to know a lot of stuff in oreder to tell you what to get for.
If you post your computers brand and model # I'll check it out and give you some feed back. Cool

Ardie,

Do you really recommend an Intel Pentium 4 processor clocked at 3.0 ghz or higher? I have a Pentium 4 processor clocked at 1.6 ghz, XTASY ATi Radeon 9250 128MB, 768mb RAM.

I still get very nice framerates. I think you are setting the expectation way too high.

But you need a 450W power supply and PCI-X16 slot to run it.
