hello all. its been a long time since ive been on the forums.

just trying to gather some opinions of how well fsx would run on my pc as it is right now.

SPECS:
2.4 GHZ intel pentium 4
1.25 GB RAM
60 GB Hard Drive (with sufficient space for fsx)
ATI Radeon X700 Pro 256 MB

basically, tell me how you guys think fsx would run with the specs listed above. i really dont want to upgrade anything at the moment.
if any other info is needed, let me know.

thanks in advance.

Honestly?

If you expect to see any eye candy and have smooth flight.. no, that system will not even come close.

2GB of high speed memory (3-4 when VISTA arrives)
7900GTX 512 or above
A64 3700+ processor or above (dual core for VISTA will enhance experience)
SATA hard drive, or above

Ahhhhhh Alrot.. I'm sorry, I did not mean to discourage you!

His system will run FS9 with eye candy but FSX takes a bit more... and after the DX10 cards are out I think you will find the 7900GTX and equal cards will come down in price quite a bit.

If you can find electricity under a bridge, IMO that wouldn't be such a bad option! Grin

The highest I get with a P4 3.4 GHz and 2.87 G ram, is 21 fps and that's way up or low in less dense areas. If I start out at DFW/JFK/MIA the frames start out around 10. FLL, around 14. Once I gain some altitude the frames go up to 21. It's still smooth, thank goodness, but not anything to get excited about.

Best bet is to just save your money and build a really core 2 rig when Vista and the (tested and reviewed) DX10 cards come out.

It'll be like getting a whole new FS along with your new computer.

Can't you more simply sell FSX to someone who is wants to spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, and then spend again? ???

I reckon it would be easier on you and your dears to have a roof on your communal heads instead of having FSX working on a new COSTLY rig in the middle of the streets? Wouldn't it? Grin

Think only of the difficulties you'll have in finding a power socket to plug your rig in or a net connection while in the streets. Roll Eyes

That's the 'minimum' I would suggest... the one I am putting together for full (or as close as possible) FSX ability will run around ~~2-3~~ 3-4 grand.. home built and will probably be outdated in about a year...
