| 186304 | 2003-10-24 22:57:00 | Hiya I wanna know what sorta hardware would I need for these games. I am planning some upgrading some time. I don't normally play games, so would a 1.8ghz, 512MB with a builtin nividia nForce be sufficient? What would u suggest? Most work is online, MS Office etc etc... Nomad. |

| 186307 | 2003-10-25 00:09:00 | get one with a AGP graphics card the faster the better for 3d sims avoid onboard graphics they are stricty for non gamers office work PC's | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 186308 | 2003-10-25 00:19:00 | I run MS FS 2002 on a Celeron 1.7GHz with 256MB RAM and a 64MB AGP GeForce 4 card which runs it pretty well i.e. smoothly at 1024 x 768. Haven't tried FS 2004 though. Of course you can never have too much grunt for recent flight simulators... having said that, there are financial constraints on all of us. |

| 186309 | 2003-10-25 00:23:00 | I would like to get a builtin nividia which is faster than the usual builtins . . . my main purpose is not gaems, would the builtin nividia suffice?? I have heard people have had issues . . . . It would have a 4x AGP port for future uncertainty . what would u choose and in which order?? Intel 2 . 4 fsb 800 Intel 2 . 4 fsb 533 Intel 2 . 66 fsb 533 Intel 2 . 66 fsb 800 Would the 2 . 4 800 be better than the 2 . 66 533?? |

| 186310 | 2003-10-25 00:25:00 | I could get a GF 4, Ti 4200 128MB or the MX ... wanna know if I need to or if builins can suffice. | nomad (3693) | ||
| 186311 | 2003-10-26 05:26:00 | Avoid MX cards and go for a slower cpu if cost is a factor you need a better graphics card for Flight sims or any 3d games avoid onboard graphics like the plague . | kiwibeat (304) | ||
