ok thanks guys, im gona look for gaming PC.

looked on back of computer and found model number and found its true specs Installed memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics processor: AMD GPU Processor speed: 2 GHz Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080 Operating system: Windows Drive capacity: 1 TB Drive

not sure if thats my processor speed my system info says processor info is not available. Gona have to sell an AR to pay for a gaming computer but atleast ill be able to also afford a TrackIr 5 Premium Head Tracker and some pedals. Thanks for the input guys.

First post here! I searched forums for an hour and did find any similar posts. Im running an HP pavilion 23 that i do not think is upgradable so heres its specs Graphics processor: AMD GPU Installed memory: 4 GB RAM Processor speed: 1.3 GHz Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080 Operating system: Windows Drive capacity: 500 GB Drive Just downloaded DCS World (1.2.x) and just flying the Su_25T im getting choppy gameplay and before I spend $50 I want to know will the Huey give me better or worse gameplay? If worse does anybody know a descent helicopter sim that my computer can handle? Im applying for flight school in Army next month so thought I would give this simulator a try. Thanks guys!
