HI Wolfgang, Boris and all,
I can report that with all your help from this forum and one other where I had a LG L1710B screen recommended which is absolutley fantastic, the rig is great. The rest of the rig is as described. Shuttle SBG61 with 800 fsb + Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHZ with 800 fsb and HIS / ATI Radeon Pro 128 mb Samsung multi drive CD/DVD and 1 Gb of DDR ram 400. Yes its over the top but it runs EVERTHING FULL ON and with all stops out and thats what I wanted. Just see MSFS 2002 seaplane land on water in the rockies is worth it, and it even bobs about on the choppy water.
I am very grateful to you all as I had no knowledge of Pcs until I read this forum which goes to show that the speed at which you can learn things with info like this at your finger tips is astonishing. I would also add that Real Flight G2 runs like it is just there in front of you which makes for an extremely useful simulator for polishing up my flying skills. Well back to the rebuild of my turbine which prompted all of this which should be complete by Sunday. If not then its swich on the sim and turn up the heating cause winter may be here.
Bye
