The memory depends on the motherboard etc. 6 gigs is enough but many motherboards need 8 for dual channel. Typically 6 needs triple channel and thus is more expensive.

Are you buying a package from a retailer or having something built? Trainz runs the cpu fairly hard so typically the cooling is a problem which affects the reliability. tomshardware is a good place to compare, when you buy a video card try to get one that draws not too much current. Typically AMD cards draw less current for the same performance but check tomshardware.

APC make very nice UPses and they keep the number of software problems down.

Cheerio John

There's nothing there that I can see that should cause problems. Perhaps someone else can guide you through the trouble shooting steps.

Sorry John

It looks like that the computer may not have come with two items, even though the advertising suggested they were included. At this stage, I won't go into detail.

Running OpenGL? change to DirectX. If using DirectX already them make sure you have DirectX9c installed alongside DX10 and 11 as despite Microsofts claims DX10 and 11 are not fully backwards compatible.
