December 7, 201213 yr Hey guys, Just need a little help with my computer. I want to run higher graphics and have very smooth running flights with no chopyness during the game. It seems like just running a PMDG 737 NGX or a captain sim 707/ 737 its slow to load from different views and flying through weather slows down my computer. Im not going to lie, I also am not the best with computer stuff. I can fix a car but not my computer. I don't really have a budget and don't mind spending a bit of money to make everything run much faster and have a more enjoyable flying experience. Currently this is what I have! Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 HP Computer Model Number P6152F Rating 4.4? Processor: AMD Phenom 8450 Triple-Core Processor 2.10ghz Memory (RAM) 4.00GB System Type: 64 Bit Operating System Is there anyway to upgrade the computer without losing any saved programs or payware aircraft I have bough on with FSX? Thanks a bunch Kyle
December 8, 201213 yr The biggest improvement in overall performance, for me, was caused by moving from AMD to Intel. A 6-core Thuban (3.6) over to i5-2500K (4.4). I had (surprisingly) no issues changing platforms except for reactivating W7 and I think one payware aircraft needed that too. Easy and nearly seamless and the darn thing runs great. Good luck!
