Hey all.

A few years ago I used to be a strong member here under a different name, I used to love FS too, especially around exam time! Nothing like some good old procrastination!

Anyway, I used to run FS2004 on my old system which crashed and burned in serious style a while ago. I think an issue with the motherboard occured and then my hard drive became corrupted. At a hefty cost I managed to get the stuff off it but since then I have been laptop based so lost touch with FS

My dad dropped a fairly dated desktop with me a while ago, he has just updated the computers at his office so it was going free.  So i was wondering if someone could let me know what the possibility of getting a somewhat decent looking FSX on it would be.

Windows XP
Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 2.93GHz
2.94GHz, 480MB RAM   (this would be replaced with 2 or 4GB instantly! so pretend that says 2gb)

Video card (if you can call it that... I doubt you could)
SiS M741


On my old system I had a high average video card and 2gb Ram, I ran FS2004 on pretty much maxed out settings, yeah I had some small FPS numbers around dense scenery but i didnt mind that at all.

cheers folks

That's exactly what I would suggest. Everything else should be fine for FSX.
