Upgrad Advice Please! :0

[Guest]

Hello fellow simmers,My system is as follows P4 2.4 533FSB, Soyo 4XAGP MB, Radeon 9500 128mb, PC 2700 512mb, 160G HD.On anticipation of the release of FS 2004, and the new PMDG 737NG.Buy 737NG!!:) I'm looking at up grading the video card to the Radeon 9800 pro 256mb or 9800 pro 128mb. What should the differences be with regard to FS. The price gap is widening 128mb can be bought for as low as $280, while the 256 is dropping to $475. Also I only have 4X AGP, I have heard 4 X is same as 8X is this true or should I get an ASUS MB with 8X AGP.Should I upgrad to 1gig ram?Any advice would be appreciatedRegards,BillyBooob

You've posted in the wrong forum hehe! PC / MAC Hardware for Simulations is the Forum i would of fought you should be asking in, but as far as i can see your system will easily cope with FS04 and the PMDG737. IF you have money to spend i would upgrade to 8X and if you dont have it, get DDR ram, i have 1 gig of it and it sped up my computer alot!Andy :-wave
