Hows this system?

[Ben R]

Hey everyone!

Well, my laptop isn't doing me any good at the moment so i was thinking about getting this system..

# Intel Pentium 4 630 Processor
# 3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache
# Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Basic
# 512MB DDR RAM
# 80BG Hard Disk
# Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD RW Drive
# 128MB ATI X1100 Graphics
# 6 USB Connections
# 4 PCI Slots
# Onboard Sound Card

How would this system run FS9 with max settings? Is the video card any good?

Please do not say "i would get a better.." i just want to know about this one..

Thanks!

Ben

TBH the video card is totally crap, at least get something like an X1600/X1900 if you go ATi, and 7600/7900 if you go nVidia.

Don't get a petium 4. Get AMD 64 x2 or Intel core 2 DUO. It'll last longer. You will not be able to max out settings with that computer. I have a computer that runs FS9 with almost those exact same things. It runs FS9 on high with 14 FPS. It's good, but you can do WAY better. Try a gig of ram and an AMD 64 X2 and at least a 7000+ graphics card from nVidia. I'm getting that only with more RAM and a VIIV Processor featuring two intel core 2 duo's 4400+. (That's 4 processors if you dont know) and an nVidia 6150 (I'm upgrading) for just under $550. I can get more computer components for cheap (I know people).  But really, think about something more than a petium 4.
