Ok is 1.6 gig AMD prossecer fast enough for Flight sim 2002 , ACOF , Etc..? Yes i know som of you big computer guy's and gals are saying no 2 gigs or more all i can afford right nowe is an Emachines  AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor with QuantiSpeed architecture (1.667 GHz)
128 MB DDR memory - yes i will upgrade to 512

but for 400 bucks is 1.66 good?

I should think it'll be fine. I mean I've only got a 1ghz PIII 512mb RAM and a Ti4600, and I get 30 fps with all the sliders maxed in 2k2.

Ozzy

PS. I'm planning to upgrade to a gig of RAM soon for extra performance

Sounds like a really good package IMHO...besides, I'm sure it's upgradable down the line as things become antiquated.  (God I hate that part of computers.  lol)

In all honesty though, I think that's a good bundle for you to run F$ on.  

As for everyone else, don't even bother.  LOL  Somewhere, SOMEONE will have a bigger computer than you.  But there comes a point where you realize that as much as you like F$, you like EATING just as much if not more, so it's not worth breaking the bank over, ya know?

Thank you. i  thought about 1 gig of ram but the guy said that 512 is plenty a gig would fry th mother board. it's ok i'm going to run 120 gig dual hard drives and 64 mb video card

I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of computers (though I used to be very proficient with our family's Commodore 64).

Last year I upgraded mine from 128mb of RAM to 640mb and have been nothing but thrilled with the results.  (I'll spare you the math...that means I put in another 512mb.  lol)

I can't see the purpose of putting more in...although, if I ever saw one that had more, then I'd probably see the purpose quite clearly.
