Qoute:I run 2 gigs of OCZ memory, AMD 64 Athlon Dual core 4200 cpu, and new Asus 640 meg pcie vid card (just bought) I run trainz full settings. I can run FSX at higher settings but not the highest. Never the less its smooth where i have it and looks amazing. FSX was made for DX10 and the Vista O/S. Thats the next step is to go Vista soon and use the dx10 on my new card because that is where ill see the big difference. I dont think FSX was intended for Win xp. Sad as it is XP is showing its age Just like win 95 and 98 ended up doing. :End Qoute
Oh, ok. My Dell was not made for games, ah well. I mat get Vista. My mom also said that she would get an external hard drive and another processer. I also need a bit more RAM but she's thinking about that too. FRAP's comes in handy for FPS on many games. Ok back on topic! If I run Trainz at full settings the computer fails and crashes! But if I run about 1/2 settings it works (but shure messes up high poly cars. In FSX I have to run FPS so low that texture on planes don't appear well (or in some case's with no textures!) and there are no buildings (well maybe a few [1 or 2 per city]). At that my computer is still going at 2 FPS!
Tip: Dont buy Dell's for games!
P.s. I couldn't find anywhere else to put this but my dad just passed away on the 8th (moderators deleted other post).
