My daughter just moved out and I have her computer available. It's a piece of junk 1GHz but I was thinking I could use it to display my main panel and/or GPS.

I've tried before to use it to extend my external visual area, but it's to slow to keep up so I've ruled that out.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Skittles I run a 1GHz PIII, you can get really good performance out of it with FS9 with a little tweaking. In fact its better at FS9 than my friends PIV 2.4Ghz Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I remember I had a 1Gz 3 years ago, but then one day, I got pissed (cuz it was sooooooooo slow) and opened it up to see if I can make some hardware changes and add a stick of memory to it, but forgot to unplug it from the power source. Then I heard a ZAP and my finger felt funny (no I didn't turn black as the cartoon characters do) Grin

Thanks for the replys. I'm going to start with setting it up as a panel display with a Project Magenta panel and see what happens.
