OT I finally boght a new comp

[leafer]

Yes sir.

 

ASUS M2N

AMD Sempron 3000

512 of the crapiest DDR2 ram (they didn't have Corsair value) :D

Galaxy GF 7600GS

Seagate SATA 120GB

Ugly case that comes with 420 watts psu

 

Haven't ried FC, yet but I can finally enjoy stutter free space flight in Orbiter. I get a solid 72 fps with anti aliasing on 4X. Oh man...I haven't had a stutter free gaming experience for three years! Can't wait to finally run FC in 1/3 its glory. :D

hee hee, nice purchase Leafer....fingers crossed for you...my last rig was a P4 3.2Ghz with 2gb of ram and a GF6800....and it still stuttered.

 

My current rig is an AMD X2 4400 with 2gb of ram and a GF7900GT.....and NOW its smooth ;)

[leafer]

Oh I know I won't get a fluid fps in FC. I am just hoping to to crank up the graphics a notch or two. Hey, think you can spare 512 mb of your memory? :D

[Kuky]

yeah, why did you get only 512MB of RAM ??? 1G should be, sort of, a minimum these days... alright, maybe you just don't have the $$$ in which case my question was a stupid one :D

[Pilotasso]

Leafer calm yourself, put that gun down, theres no reason for that. Its starting to bruise your head c'mon. :D

512 is minimum requirement to run Notepad in Windows XP. You need more RAM.

 

:inv: Aye, never a truer word spoken...:inv:

[emenance]

its a good start. get more ram then more cpu and decent heatsink, then decide if you wana keep your motherboard. If so buy a bigger PSU. Make sure you get high amps. Then buy another hard drive and keep your 120 for back up. Install clean.

[leafer]

Oy... Everyone. Guys! C'mon... this is leafer. The dude who dwells in a project where people steal your flip-flops for god's sake. Hey, 512 mb is already stretching the budget. I got couple of stab wounds from the wife to prove it. :D

 

Seriously, I was going to get a Galaxy 6600 card and use the left over for another stick of ram, and an enermax power supply. The clerk told me I would regret it so I changed my mind and got the 7600 instead.

 

ruggbutt,

 

thanks, bud. The price for your cpu wouldn't fit in my tiny budget anyway. If I had bought a 100 usd cpu then I'd have had to get a slower vid card. But thanks, though. It's nice to be loved by total stranger. :D

 

Pilotasso,

 

That's not a gun, buddy. teh

[leafer]

I finally tried FC on my new coputer and what a difference!

 

I take back everything bad I had said about the graphics in FC. Oh man...I can't believe how pleasing the sim looks after I shelled out the money. hehe I still don't like the bland coloring terrain but it's a heck of a lot better than when I was using FX5200. A lot better!!!

 

As for fps, a constant 52 fps in clear weather and a constant 30+ in thunderstorm. That's all I ever wanted, man. Now, if I can navigate like real pilots I wouldn't even bother with civilian flight sims. Thinking of buying x-plane or fsx.

 

I'm a happy camper.

 

:D

[leafer]

I'd have prolly come down on it for you. Anyhow, if you need anything lemme know. You know how to reach me. :D

 

True Dat is in love.
