Eek! You're kidding, right?
As soon as FedEx shows up, I'll be upgrading a few selected bits of my
machine in an attempt to improve fs9 performance. I'm still using
the 533 FSB motherboard for the moment, but I'm upgrading the CPU,
RAM, and video card.
Here are the soon to be history specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P4S533 MX
CPU: Intel Celeron 2/4 Ghz
RAM: One stick of 512 MB PC2100 DDR
Video card: ASUS nvidia MX/MX 400 w/64 MB memory
Here are the soon to be specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P4S533 MX
CPU: Intel P4 2.8 Ghz
RAM: 1 GB (2x512 MB) PC2700 DDR
Video card: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/128 MB memory
I might have wished to do a bit more with the new CPU, but according
to what I've read, certain more powerful CPUs might not be entirely
compatible with my current motherboard.
Most people seem to think that I'll see some very marked improvement
over my soon to be old system, and I tend to agree (we'll know
soon!), but even still, compared to some systems with great fs9
results, my "new and improved" machine will actually be "pretty
adequate" at best (motherboard limitations with regards to compatible
upgrade bits). Still though, I fully intend to push this machine to
its new limits with some nice new sceneries and a few shiny new
planes!
