i'm worried! is my system good enough?!

[maxjohnson]

Hi i am really knew to Flight simulators and having played FS 2004 for a short while i decided to now buy FSX! ive already ordered the game but looking at reviews now.. it looks like my pc wont be able to cope!

its a ;

Pentium 4 3.0GHZ
512MB Ram
Nividia Geforce 7300GL 512MB
Windows XP service pack 2

Gosh will this be ok on the bare minimum? what would i need to UPGRADE to make playing experiences better, and i mean, upgrade, i cant afford to go and purchase a new pc!

Thanks,
Max.

can anybody reply? ive tried the 700mb demo and that works fine, but im guessing a lot of detail has been taken out of that.. gosh im soo worried that the game wont even work at a resonable speed!

You shouldnt have any problems running it on medium or even lower settings.  :)

Another 512mb of RAM.. and a better video-card and you'll be able to run it on moderate settings..  That's a tough call though.. because you might want to save that money toward a new computer.

For example..  $250 for a good 7950GTX might be better saved for when 8800 cards come down to near that price. Upgrading is always a compromise.. and you gotta be careful dumping money into a platform that's already a couple years old.

The first thin gI would do when you can is upgrade your ram. FSX uses 1.3 gig and more so you definitely need more ram. Fastest that your motherboard will support. Then id look at other things.

If I were you I would cut your losses with FSX and further your experiences with FS9. With all the add-ons out there you could make fs9 look better then the default FSX and you get the better frame rates. Either way I would upgrade to 1gig of ram so you would be able to enjoy both.

my pc is as follows....

Dell 4400
1.65 ghz
1 gb ram
ATI All-In-Wonder

I am able to run FSX at medium-high settings at around 15 FPS with minimal tweaking. You should be fine but don't expect to be able to crank FSX all the way up.

Hallo, I think about buying this pc. But I don't know if the specs would be good for playing Flight simulator X.

these are the pc specs:

Asus P5LD2-SE Socket 775 Motherbord
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2x2.66GHz 2x2048KB Dual-Core processor
- Original Intel Boxed CPU cooler witht copper core
- Nvidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB DDR3 PCI-E Videocart VGA, DVI & TV-out
- Quick Samsung 500GB 7200RPM 16MB Sata-II Harddisk
- KINGSTON 4GB (4096MB) DDR2 PC5300 667MHZ Dual Channel Memory

Would FSX run on my system?

Sinclair Spectrum 48K.
3.5 MHz, 8-bit  Zilog Processor.
48K of RAM.
Cassette Recorder.
Suncom Joystick.
Fergusson Television set.

Please help me, I'm 2 years old and I'm desperate to play FSX instead of Attic Attack.

I had a look at the FSX box, and I can't understand the words.

My Dad patted me on the head and said drink your milk up and go to bed, but it didn't help.

Paul, on a system like that, your PC would literally explode if you were to even think about installing FSX.  :P

Tee-Hee...!

..just an example of the daft questions which get posted on the FSX Forum.... daily... ...!

(a)  Posers, who know full well that their system will inadequately cope with the demands of FSX...and just want to show-off with their highly superior machines, and put us all to shame.......!

(b) The rest, who know perfectly well that it wont, and should be concentrating either on FS 2004...
...or...
..filling in their Microsoft Spread Sheets.... ...!

Paul...aka...Little Joe... ...!

Actually...

My PC is a bit pants. 1.8Ghz, 512 ram, 128mb graphics. FSX runs smoothly on lowest settings, but the aircraft look terrible on exterior view.

FOR EXAMPLE:

It looks like that all the time, I've left it lo load, and it stays like that even when I turn the aircraft settings up to highest.

I really don't have the money for a new PC, so I'll probably upgrade. I found a wholesaler in the UK that sells CPUs, RAM, everything. 1gb ram for
