Need Explanation of System Information
Hello everyone,
I'm not quite up to speed on all the system requirements for running flight simulators and exactly what everything means. My computer knowledge is nothing close to many you on these forums. Also, let me know what I would need to upgrade if I were to run G3, Aero Fly Pro Deluxe or Reflex XTR. I know I definately need a different graphics card, possibly you could post some links to ones that would be compatible? I don't know exactly what information is important. I greatly appreciate anybody's help.

RE: Need Explanation of System Information
Your system meets the minimum requirements and will run G3. I'm not sure about the other sims. You will probably want to get a better graphics card but this isn't necessary.

RE: Need Explanation of System Information
It's a laptop, upgrade of a video chip is probably out of question.
All other componenets are fine, but they are not as important as the video chip...
What you may want to do is to download a demo of Reflex XTR sim and a freewae simulator FMS. Both will give you and idea if your video card is up to the task. Reflex XTR is close to G3 with respect to video crd requirements, though FMS can work with much weaker cards.
