I'm a moron when it comes to computers, and tech talk gives me a headache. :isadizzy: To me they are simply a tool to use to fly my sims. But since I bought FSX I've been forced into trying to understand their inner-workings, in an effort to get the most out of my system.
I d/loaded this super little programme called SiSoftware SandraLite, which provides excellent detail as to what my system is actually made up of. One of the programmes actually allows you to compare your system with others - a neat feature.
My basic system details are:
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00GHz
Mainboard: ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Graphics Card: Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD4850 (1GB DDR3)
Windows XP 5.01.2600 SP3
Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that the single biggest factor to improving FSX performance is in the CPU. So I was a wondering if I replace the Pentium D with a Intel i7 920 (which I can get for just under $360.00 Aus) is that the best move?
Cheers.
