Upgrade Questions

[Guest kilo_sierra17]

EDIT: Spelling MistakesI know, another topic about upgrades.. as you can see from my sig, I have an old system, but it runs great, and plays most games very well, like Battlefield 1942, GTA Vice City, C&C Generals, the only game I really have any trouble with (big surpirse) Fligh Sim, I can run the game and get a a steady 12-13 FPS with the POSKY 747-400, and it does look pretty good, but like lots of people I am worried about FSCOF, so my first question is: Will I be able to run the new FS version, now the seconde question about processors, the highest P3 processor that my MOBO will handle is 1 GHZ, I know about powerleap and how I can get a 1.4 GHZ processor, but there Celeron's and the couple people I know who have them, they just dont work with crap, so I am going to stick with P3's, I can get a 1 GHZ processor for around 400 bucks Canadian, it's a little less, but lets just use that number. Is it really worth it to spend that amount of money only be at 1 GHZ? would it be enough to run FSCOF well? I am not worried about other games, mainly just FSCOF, or would I be better off to save up and get a new 3 GHZ computer at X-Mas time and call that a family Christmas present? I would really like some advice please.

>first question is: Will I be able to run the new FS version,Yes, you will.>1 GHZ? would>it be enough to run FSCOF well? it all depends on your definition of "well".>or would I be better off to save up>and get a new 3 GHZ computer at X-Mas time and call that a>family Christmas present?You bet. To upgrade your current system (preserving your current MoBo) would be a total waste of money.Michael J.http://www.reality-xp.com/community/nr/rsc/rxp-higher.jpg

When I ment "well" with most details on and get around 15 FPS, but I think I will just wait till x-mas time and get a really nice new computer, thanks for your Michael!
