you all guys what do you think about my system specs i heard that FSx is coming with very good graphics this one isn't for my desktop is for my laptop not so good but tell me if it can handle it:

Intel celeron 2.6 Ghz
80 gb hardrive
768 mb of ram
128 ATI radeon 9250 with antostrhopic filtering
saitek st290 pro joystick
Platinum JBL series speakers with sound management
17 inch flat screen

Police think they can see me lean&&I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen&&When you see me ride by they can see the glean&&And my shine on the deck and the TV screen&&Ride with a new chick, she like hold up&&Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola&&Turn a jacker into a coma

Nobody will know for sure WHO can handle it.

Remember microsoft is going to have all top of the line stuff...and they expect you to go out and get top of the line stuff.

My oppinion is anybody that doesn't have vista isn't ready.

Negative.

I believe Microsoft stated; "P4 3 GHz+ and you're good to go".

A 2.6 GHz Celeron is about as good as 1.3 GHz Pentium 4.

So no, it wouldn't be a pretty sight, and framerates would be unbelievably low.

i got this from some microsoft gaming representative my question was: What type of computer hardware will I need to run “Flight Simulator X”?
their response was:

While we are still determining exact hardware requirements, we do know that it will run on a wide range of configurations because we want to make “Flight Simulator X” accessible to a wide range of fans.

So this means that fsX will have many different confugurations so all you fans out there don't worry if you have a wacky computer but if its tooooo wacky like a 900 mgz processor,8m video memory,15 gz hard drive 4get about it. Go get a new computer. but i will still have to update my processor..... or......or......or...... get a new computer

OK....... let's think a bit about the experience with fs2004 and the "minimum specifications" that Microsoft gave for THAT situation after fs2002.

That "run on a wide range of machines" is a euphimism for the idea that means that if you want to turn OFF a lot of the stuff that you PAID FOR in the new version ...... it will still "run" on a less powerful system. It is all about defining that word "run". Wink

But if you are turning things OFF just to be able to run it..... why not simply stay with a fully "tweaked" and "fully loaded" FS2004 until you can afford the hefty hardware?

Personally I think it is WAY too soon to be buying a computer for FSX. Wait until it has been out a while and see what the people who are the first purchasers have to say about performance. THEN use that information to gauge your own purchases.

best,

As some of us have already said before:

"Those who first purchase the next version of FS volunteer to become beta testers."

I would say that you can run FS9 with all parameters maxed out on a rig with the latest technologies 2 years after its release, then...
wait some time before buying a comp only for FSX unless you can't run it on your comp...

I realize this thread is kinda drawn out and maybe old, but how do you update your processor? Just get a new pentium chip? Ive got a P4 3.20 with 1 G Ram, any ideas on what to do?

3.2 GHz isn't too bad, anything over 3 should be "OK"..

Anyway, what motherboard do you have?

Since you have already 3.2 GHz P4- I'm guessing you've got a motherboard with the 775 socket. The 775 socket is what all the new processors use, except for dual of course. You just need to know the limit for your motherboard, what is the maximum it can take - and then buy the maximum! Grin
