How Much?

Postby Eskimo » Fri Jul 23, 2004 7:45 pm

I have had FS9 for about 9 months now and since I've been on the forums I have heard many things about CFS3.

My question is, is it worth it and if so how much does it cost,

I say it's worth it.

Assuming you machine is up to speed, if you just touch up a few things, it's the best thing to date. :)

It really comes down to machine performance, its more of a system hog than FS9. That said I can get good performance on my PIII 1Ghz, and no I can't understand why guys with better machines can't!!!!
What are your system specs?
Also if you want some good, cheap fixes, then CFS1 and 2 are both more fun than should be legal ;D

Well, it's currently selling for $39.99 in Canada. That's about $42.69 Australian Dollars.

I remember when I first got CFS3 I was running it on a AMD Duron 950mhz with a Geforce 2 MX400 card and it ran pretty good. Runs nice and smooth with my current setup.

Sounds good, and with my 1.4 Ghz processor and GForce2 it looks like it'll run fine.
