Music , photos, games, downloads stored in chrome as it's an online operating system + it will be FREE!! to download. I'm in Wink

Then it seems that the limiting factor will not be the crap PC....... but the crap internet connection and ISP and overall net traffic and bandwidth at any given time.

Out of the frying pan into the fire, maybe?

At least you can control the "crap PC" by getting a new one. Forr many, the internet situation is not something that THEY have all that much control over.

best,

virgin media already have their sights on 200mb broadband by 2012, that might do it Wink

Bah!! once google chrome os is up and running you'll be binning the graphics card anyways Tongue

ATI and Nvidia will be screwed.
Check out the video
http://code.google.com/apis/o3d/

That uses videocards for rendering, and honestly it looks like crap compared to a real game.

It's only a demo of the chrome browser, once chrome is out and up and running you will be able to play the latest games through your browser/operating system all maxed out on a crap pc. Read into it more mate Wink

Imagine the space on your pc they'll be nothing on it, I like the sound of that. Music , photos, games, downloads stored in chrome as it's an online operating system + it will be FREE!! to download. I'm in Wink

No - you're wrong. IF you don't believe me then ask Nick N.

How inferior is ATi in MSFS? 'cause I gotta say, the Radeon 5870 kicks ass, and I'm gonna get one.

the 5870 is the first ATI card since the x800xt to come close in matching Nvidia

Its a good card for both FSX and other games that take advantage of shader render code

but none the less, you still need to feed that card. You cant put a card like that in a slower CPU/memory system and expect it will run better.

If its a clocked modern AMD or C2/Q system then that card will perform just like the 285 however my tests still show it has some minor issues in compare to the 285 with weather and heavy hitting VC cockpits

If you like ATi and you want ti ouse it for MSFS, it would be the first ATi card I could suggest for MSFS in a long time

Thanks.

The 5870 is going into an i7 rig.

Also getting a 5850 for my 3.6ghz Q6600. Not ideal, but it will have to do (and not really for msfs anyway)

Hey Nick if you went with the 285 over the 295? what CPU would you recommend for max FSX performance?

i7.. 975 will clock to 4-4.2Ghz

950 4GHz no problem

920 3.8 to 4Ghz

any of the above will require a proper clocking heatsink

DDR3 1600 6-7-6-18 3x2GB memory

P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard

and a 295 is useless to FSX.. either the 285 or the ATi 5870, one of the two
