What is the difference
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
ah MSI.....they churn out great products! i'm planning to get a GeForce FX 5900 from them myself......i would advice not to overclock as it may result in unfortunate destruction of your hardware if not done properly
PS : How's the framerate at full details?
EHM-0765 Sam:
If it is DDR ram, get 2x512mb Ram, its probably the best format, as it runs quicker from being DDR
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
or you could also hang in there a bit longer and wait for goodies such as DDR2 and PCI Express to come out in large production. That could make the computers a tad bit expensive but it should be well worth the money for the boost in performance
EHM-1199 Philip:
Thank you all for the advice. AT the moment I am still running FS2002 and the UK VFR scenery. I also install loads of PAI aircraft to get the skys and ATC busy.
PC I bougth this weekend is:
P4 3.2GHz, 512Mb DDR ram, 256Mb Nvidia GEforce 5200 video card, harddrive spins at 7,200rpm. DVD drive with separate DVD burner (+ and -).
I think that's the important aspects of the PC. Crucially though ... I used to get 12-15fps on my old celeron based PC and massive slowdown to almost unplayable 6fps on approach to busy airports like Heathrow. Weather effects on the old PC were impossible unless you like slide shows or only flew very slow aircraft. Now ... whew ... am I satisfied. With all sliders to the right and decent cloud cover and rain etc, I have locked the fps to forty and it hovers around the 40fps consistently. Massive difference and the game is once again coming to life.
Thanks again for all the advice received here.
Phil
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
Cool! with such a high fps i'll be looking towards to building my own computer at the end of this year!
At the DVD burner point, you mean to say that you bought two burners? Your computer must have cost a bomb with those and the 3.2GHz processor!
