| 774859 | 2009-05-18 08:47:00 | Current processor is AMD 3200, will be upgrading it within the next few weeks. RAM is Kingston DDR2 PC2 5300 | convair (13650) | ||
| 774860 | 2009-05-18 08:52:00 | How much RAM? And what version of Flight Simulator. If you upgrade to something such as the 4670 or even the 4850 you'll get a nice performance boost, but I suggest you get a Phenom || or Athlon 64x2 to match. And 2gb of RAM min Blam |

| 774862 | 2009-05-18 09:05:00 | That game uses single core only, so upgrading your CPU will boost your performance only a bit www.ifocus.co.nz Blam |

| 774863 | 2009-05-18 09:11:00 | Any performance boost would be good I guess. | convair (13650) | ||
| 774864 | 2009-05-18 11:21:00 | That game is also a cpu intensive hog, therefore the fastest single core cpu would be the best upgrade along with perhaps plenty of fast memory, even a nice SSd for quick level loads....for that game. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 774865 | 2009-05-18 20:40:00 | I want to improve the performance of my PC so it will run Flight Simulator faster. Flight sim is very cpu intensive. Get the best cpu you can afford. Then ram |

| 774866 | 2009-05-18 20:45:00 | You'd want a graphics card upgrade then, although if you have a very slow processor or very little ram it will bottleneck a fast GFX card A top line graphics card is unnecessary for flight Sim.It may improve your picture but certainly not performance. a faster cpu an even faster cpu |

| 774868 | 2009-05-18 21:29:00 | Socket AM2 or 939? If 939, There probably isn't much option for CPU upgrades - maybe you can find a 4000+ on trademe or something. If it's AM2, then *probably* the board can handle the X2 series, (will need to check mainboard CPU support) and you could grab a more recent dual-, triple-, or quad-core. | inphinity (7274) | ||
