Quick Question

[gronji2004]

Will FSX run OK ish on this:

3.06GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB Cache
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
1GB DDR RAM
80GB Hard Disk Drive
Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD RW Drive
128MB ATI Radeon X200 Express Graphics
8-In-1 Media Card Reader
6 USB connections
15" TFT Monitor

No not optimally! Maybe on lowest settings

Nope. You'll have no water effects, no traffic of any kind, poor quality graphics and still be clunky. Most big cities will kill your fps - I mean 4
- 10fps if you're lucky. i.e. a bicycle will be faster if you intend going anywhere from Seattle.

Minimally you need to add a decent graphics card and disable the x200, plus another gig of ram - but you'll still not get to a place where you'll be
happy. Stay with FS9. You'll save yourself a ton of frustration, aggravation and disappointment. Most folks with high-end systems - including mine -
have to tweak the heck out of FSX in order to get "acceptable" performance. Save up the cash and upgrade in a few months - when the current top
hardware is down in price. I spent $1700 Canadian for my bits and pieces: I can get that same system now for about $1300.

Yes - I'm back with FS9 because of my addons.

My opinion?

3.06GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB Cache - Good
1GB DDR RAM - Should go 2GB minimum
80GB Hard Disk Drive - Speed? Might make a difference
128MB ATI Radeon X200 Express Graphics - 256MB should be the minimum.
