Hello All,
I am no longer considering upgrading my PC as it's not an option, it's a requirement :(
With the growing demands I place upon it, FS9/2004 is so slow, and that isn't good for an Flight Sim nut. FS2002 worked reasonably well with addons, and had no major problems, as long as frames stayed about 25 I noticed no difference but 2004 isn't the same.
At the minute I have a
Dell Dimensio 4300,
1.6Ghz Pentium 4,
256SDRAM,
64Mb FeForce 2
Any general advice? I was thinking alone the lines of upgrading to 2.4Ghz, 512DDR or 1024, and new 256DDR Graphics card.
I have a friend who built one, 2.8Ghz, 1.5Gig RAM, 256DDR graphics card for under £400 and is a flying machine itself.
Is there a limit on how far I can go upgrading it?
How much would the above cost roughly, and any recommendations on who to go to, apart from a few local friends I have.
Advice much appreciated
:O
Merry Christmas to all!
