Will this computer run Trainz or Rail Sim?

I would suggest staying away from the slimline computers. It is difficult to find upgrade parts for such as video cards ands such.
 
Well, as is, NO

That is bare bones, there is no processor, no ram, no video card, no network card, no hdd, no dvd/cd drive, no keyboard/mouse, no O/S included in that price.
For anyone to tell you if it will run trainz first you have to decide what you are going to install in the box, then we could let you know :D

Cheers David
 
...not this one...

:cool: A brief hello GP,

As a fellow HP fan, I would not recommend this as built...

You can tell this is a Media PC....meant for pictures or video.

The $499 model would be better, however about $800 is still the object to pursue.

You would get more memory, a better graphics card, something you could put a audio card in, and a TV card....right now, the slim-line product restricts expansion hard for novice users like us.

This one is purpose driven, however I'd so stay with HP....

Thanks for your question, save aluminum cans or something...it would be well worth a $799.
 
This is just another tin box you need to click on the specs button and choose what specs you want...................................................................

Most local computer shops will make one up for you if you can't do it yourself just tell them what you want it for, and ask plenty of scencible questions most shop keepers will be happy to explane things to you, but pick a day when buisness is slack. they are normaly just glad of the company.
and before you know it you will get to know how to build one yourself. Just get to know the basics at first and build from there
 
O.k...here it (was)....

:cool: I traced down the deal, it is no-longer available but HP does this frequently, I probably reviewed it recently....

So it is a HP a6750t series...? That's really specked as a Media PC....hard...

That classes me in...I have a HP a6115n....

Here's what you would have...

Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
64-bit operating system is required to access >3GB memory
Included in price : NG010AV Price : 31.00 EPP Price : 0.00 MIR : 0.00 IR : 0.00

This is the important part...it's telling you that to access & therefore utilise needed memory for Trainz, I have to tell you that 64bit Vista though it maybe the bomb is a question with Trainz...I haven't yet seen positive report the 64bit is supported but I'm here to tell you that if not you may be able to downgrade to 32bit on this computer by selecting so as you activate you Windows Installation....but I would definantly recommend giving whatever version of Trainz you have in both DirectX & OpenGL before I downgraded the 64bit OS.

It's a drop-dead cinch that 64-bit is the best.

From here down is a list of your purchase, plus options. Your purchase includes the first listing...

FREE UPGRADE! 4GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM [4x1024] from 3GB
A 64-bit Operating System is required to take full advantage of 4GB or greater memory. A 32-bit Operating System only recognizes up to 3GB memory.

No accounting software....but there are options....
Movie Software is an option....
Plenty of Media Software....
Then there is the Service Plan Page, None is offered, but that means all you get is a year(I had already replaced the 250watt power supply with a 1000watt).
I self-installed, including a GeForce 8800GT
& used a Sound Blaster Audigy I bought at WalMart.
I installed a Hauppauge TV card(the worst thing I ever could have done to a PC).
Bought a 17" flat-pannel HP1706 VGA standard-resolution monitor off the web & hooked it up to the available video coupling off the GeForce VGA slot.
