Sounds great to me. Where did you get it? Anyhow, it's better than my 128mb RAM, PIII 500mhz tub!

thanks,
already have fs2004 but i cant use it properly :'( as at the moment i am using a sony vaio laptop as my main computer,(my desktop is a few years old now and flight sim wouldnt dream of running on it but i havent had the money to upgrade it) the laptop is:

800mhz AMD Duron
128mb ram
8mb ati rage mobility (on board)

not good for flight sim.

Dan, the Pc is going to be built by myself (I know how to build them, just don't know whats a good price ;)) all the parts are from a website @ http://www.ebuyer.co.uk

Price is good - build is simple these days. Power supply too small though. 350watt minimum for that spec.  I use a 465watt.
