Well then chaps ive just come across the specs I had when I first started simming using Flightsim X. it was a HP Pavillion with killer specs....
Windows XP
Intel Pentium processor 940 D.
2gb DDR2 Ram,
200GB Hard Drive
Nvidia 7600GS Graphic card.
I still use this machine as my work horse connected to the net but its got bigger drives and Ram and a better Graphic card. It must be ten years old now I cant believe I used this for my simming machine for around two years with a 17 inch monitor as well.
I then moved up to a better machine for a year or two then again moved up to a Asus Rampage mother board and 6GB of patriot Ram and a couple of Velicaraptor drives with a Nvidia GTX 48O card.
Now I have my machine the specs are listed below in my sig, on Friday this week I will have a new Dell 27 inch 4K IPS Monitor to finish it off it just goes to show how things move on.
cheers
