Hi all,
Firstly thanks for taking the time to read this.
My boss has asked me to purpose build a PC and buy FSX for his son as he absolutely loves FS. He wants it done as a surprise. His son is quiet technically minded so I want to put a bit of effort into the build and get a wow factor when he opens it up.
Now I have been on the net for the last 3 days and everyone has different opinions so I said I'd ask about the following spec and will it be an EXCELLENT system for FSX.
DUALCORE PREBUILD (1)
INTEL P4 3.8GHZ LGA 775 CPU & COOLER (1)
2GB of DDR2 6400 (800 MHz) RAM at CAS 4 or lower
250GB SATA HARD DISK DRIVE 720 (1)
DVD RW IDE BLACK BEZEL (1)
MS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT OEM (1
GAINWARD BLISS 8800GTX PCX TV DUAL DVI - GRAPHICS ADAPTER - GF 8800 GTX - PCI EXPRESS X16 - 768 MB GDDR3 - DIGITAL VISUAL INTERFACE (DVI) - HDTV OUT
Any thoughts guys, will this do the trick for FSX, where should I improve.
many thanks
