July 19, 200916 yr Hi guys,Wanted a new system and have been looking at systems with 8GB RAM - is this necessary for Vista (have heard that the OS takes up 3GB RAM at any one time).Obviously I'd rather go with 4GB RAM (it's cheaper!)For example, would this system run FSX with no jutters, with only 4GB RAM? (saw it on the Gateway website) Intel
July 19, 200916 yr The only suggestion I can offer you is try and configure that system without a video card to save a bit of money and buy a better card separately.
July 19, 200916 yr Given that the i7's are out I wouldn't go anything below an i7 920 chip... those things murder FS9 and make FS10 "enjoyable". I know the older systems are heck of a lot cheaper, but that's not economics, that'ss outdated hardware they're trying to offload on the next sucker :) no offense!
July 19, 200916 yr Agree with Av8Ntr. Go with the i7, with 6gb mem. You can pick one of those up relatively inexpensively and it will give you the most for your money. Much more for your money than the system you posted. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
