>> I received my copy of the brand new, hot off the presses, SFS4
>> from Germany
>> yesterday and immediately installed it. Not surprisingly, it
>> looks very nice
>> but, unfortunately it seems my computer doesn't have the grunt power to do
>> it justice. The system I installed it on is a pentium III 450, 192Mb RAM
>> with a Diamond Viper V330 video card.
>>
>> The instructions actually warns that there is a pretty high
>> demand on either
>> a gutsy 3D video card (of which the Diamond Viper isn't) or on the central
>> processor which it recommends at a minimum of 700 MHz.
>>
>> I was wondering if anyone else has it installed with whom I could compare
>> notes regarding performance?

>My experience is not with SFS, but Microsofts Flight Simulator.
>Specifically Versions 98 and 2000. This step, like SFS brought huge new
>computing requirements. At the time of 2000's release, systems that were
>top of the line were required.

>If SFS are recomending 700mhz, then go for at LEAST a 900. RAM, you can
>never have too much of, best off in one chip. At the moment, 256mb of ram
>is cheap, about $70 is the going rate. For video, on a tight budget, you
>can't go past the VOODOO 3, but a GEOFORCE is even better.

>If upgrading, and don't want the expense of a genuine Intel, then go for the
>AMD Athlon/Thunderbird. Forget the Duron, for gaming its way behind the P3
