Hi guys,I am out of this hobby for quite a long time so I am not sure if the following works. I just bought a notebook computer which has a graphics specification listed as below :ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X600, with 64 MB of external DDR VRAM, supporting ATI POWERPLAY™ 5.0, Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0, PCI Express™ and DualView™ orIntel® 915GM integrated 3D graphics, featuring Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 and up to 128 MB of video memory, supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 and dual independent displayWould this be okay to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 ? Douglas

Assuming you got the X600, it should run fine at your notebook's native resolution with graphics settings medium to high, and you may even be able to turn on a little AA or AF without too much of a performance hit.If you took the integrated graphics option, then FS graphics performance and quality will be somewhat marginal, but certainly playable.The other main influence on your FS experience will be your CPU. If you've got a Pentium M any speed, performance will be pretty good relative to desktop CPU offerings. RAM amount is probably next. What are the other specs of your notebook?Gary

This is good news Gary.It is an Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.6GHz, with 768MB RAM, and 64MB Video RAM.By the way, what is meant by AA and AF ?Douglas

Douglas,64M X600 or 64M Integrated Graphics?AA = Anti-Aliasing - smooths out jagged linesAF = Ansiotropic Filtering - sharpens texturesBoth of these features improve FS graphical experience but come at the expense of performance (especially on mid to low end graphics cards). Gary

>64M X600 or 64M Integrated Graphics?>Thanks for telling me the meaning of AA and AF. I really am out of date that I need to stay on this forum to pick up years of information.About your question, I really don't know the answer. I only know the spec said it is ATI Mobility Radeon X600, with 64MB of extenal DDR VRAM. What exactly does this meant ?Douglas

The X600 is a much better graphics card than integrated graphics offerings. FS should run just fine on you notebook, just resist the urge to push all graphics quality sliders to the right (unless of course you don't mind the resultant performance slowdown).Have fun.Gary
