thanks,
already have fs2004 but i cant use it properly Cry

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 Wink

) all the parts are from a website @ www.ebuyer.co.uk

thanks for your help

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

Hey, does anyone know how to convert this £ into $?
But hey, I bet it's good by what you guys are saying!
