After resisting the urge to get a new box as we go along the continuum of FS2K2 and the high power add-ons, I'm taking the plunge this week. I am a loyal Dell user and realize that may cost me a little more, but am planning on replacing my: 600MHz to upgraded PIII 1Ghz Win 98SE 512Mb RAM, 20GB HD NVIDIA GeForce 4 TI4400 128 Mb card with a: Dell P4 2.4 Ghz 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HD WinXP Pro NVIDIA GeForce 4 TI4400 128Mb card (using same card in new box) Any reason to pay the extra money for 1Gb of RAM? Primarily I'm just a diehard FS2002 simmer with not much other use. Is WinXP Pro working out well with MSFS 2002? Lastly, I am currently on-line with a cable modem internet provider. What is the simplest way to move all of those great FS aircraft and scenery add-ons over to the new computer? Should I buy a network card with the new computer and network the two for the transfer, and is that easy to do? Thanks in advance, from a FS and aviation smart but computer not so smart operator!

Hi Chris,If your computer is basically for simming, then you won't need the extra RAM. FS2002 doesn't benifit from it, and 512MB is plenty for your needs.As for moving all your addons, you could use a network cable, or you could remove the HDD from your current machine, plug it into your new machine as a slave and copy over directly. That's probably the easiest way :)

Thanks John, I'll do that. chris (PHNL)
