November 23, 201114 yr Hey Just found this pc looking through a flyer. Windows 7 included 4gb DDR3 ram and an intel celeron g530 processor. I can add more ram quickly. Is this enough to get good performance on fsx? I don't know much about the G530. I have enough money to upgrade to a nice video card etc. Will i need to upgrade the cooling system? On sale for $399. Any help appreciated Thanks lee Edit: how do I overclock anyway? I won't have enough GHz will I?
November 23, 201114 yr Author Well I know. It says its a intel g530 processor. But now I'm thinking its probably nowhere near what I need. Maybe the celeron bit was a mistake. Is there anyway I could overclock to 4.5ghz?

Maybe the celeron bit was a mistakeNo, it's not a mistake: The G530 is a 2.4 GHz Intel Celeron PCU manufactured with the Sandy Bridge architecture. From a list of 39 SB CPUs, it is Number 3 from the bottom, though! See.Cheers,- jahman.
November 23, 201114 yr Author Haha yeah. I'm still just going to build my own. But can you give some info or a link for overclocking. I know what it is bit how do you do it?

I know what it is bit how do you do it?I would worry about the build first. Then getting everything installed and stable. Then I would start researching the overclocking. These Sandy Bridge systems are relatively easy to overclock. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
