Here are the build sheet specs of what I have been Trainzing on since the fall of 2001. I took a machine originally built in 2009 and upgraded it. It still is not that great to play TANE on with heavy 3d content as a route with 300,000 plus three-D tall hemlock trees on it. This following PC is my home office PC also.
