February 21, 201115 yr I've only just started with FS9 and I have a question...Don't laugh, but my current PC has a Pentium 4 3Ghz CPU, 1 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce FX5600I guess this arrangement is a joke as far as FS is concerned In time I will probably change to FSX (not sure of the advantages as yet). Without going overboard for a high-end gaming PC, can any advise me on an upgrade? I don't really want to build my own PC, although I guess this would be the most cost efficient solution?

Look in the signatures ofvarious posters for their configurations.. Bert

February 21, 201115 yr Author Bert and january, thanks for your replies... I'm off to buy myself some more RAM!
February 26, 201115 yr Should you decide to get a new system, building it yourself as you suggested is going to be the least expensive way, besides having another advantage: you know what you put in your machine.I guess you would need a complete system, not just the main components, and a decent one could be built for less than 1000$, if you feel you need a new system, that is!
