October 5, 200520 yr Gentlemen,I am about to order a new laptop. I want to upgrade either the processor from 2Ghz to 2.26Ghz or upgrade video from Nvidea 6800 Ultra to 7800GTX. Funds prevent both upgrades. Which would be the better upgrade from the FS2004 perspective?Thanks, Happy landings, Mike Eppright (KAAO)
October 6, 200520 yr I would go with the 7800 GTX.....they can fit those in a laptop?It sure must get hot when flying!
October 6, 200520 yr Author I am looking at the Dell XPS M-170 which replaced the XPS2. Many of the newer laptops are big machines with a 17" widescreen. I read tonight where the 6800 or the 7800 video cards draw more watts than the CPU itself. The overall machine is no heavier than my Inspiron 8100 that I've had for four years.Thanks for the advice. After some research, I think we both agree on this one. Happy landings, Mike Eppright (KAAO)
