Best Single Upgrade?

Postby JerryL » Wed Oct 15, 2003 2:39 pm

Currently running FS2004 on a P4 1.4 GHZ, 256MB RAM and Radeon 32MB video card.

Which single upgrade would provide the most increase in performance:

1) double RAM

2) 64 MB video card

Thanks in advance for any replies

Jared,

If you can afford it, skip the 64 meg card and go right to a 128 meg card.  The cheaper ones are NOT all that much more than the 64 meg ones.

That is the first place that I'd go........ followed shortly by more RAM.  Particularly if you are running win XP..... which needs 128 meg just to load itself.

best,

...................john
