do I have enough computer for g3
 

I have a hp pavilion a335w computer pentium 4 2.50gh and intel extreme graphics 64 mb thingking of getting g3 but not sure since I heard about needing super computer to run software appeciate any comments.

with a 64 mb grafixs I doubt it will run . the Pentium 4 2.5 is fine but you need a good grafix card and lots of ram memery. My computer I have a pentium 4 1.8 G with a GeForce fx5500 128MB, 512 megs of ram and I can run the sim, but I have most of the graffix setting to medium or less.

Your graphics card with 64 Mb RAM will work - the scenery just will not be quite as detailed. I had a GeForce TI card with 64 Mb and it worked. I didn't get shadows, and the photo scenery wasn't detailed but the planes flew as they are supposed to. I upgraded to a GeForce 5200 with 128 Mb and the scenery is now detailed as are the planes and helis and I have shadows for whatever it is worth. Go for it.

Cool Squire I can't use shadows on my machine because it slows down the frame rates two much. but it's good to hear that it will work.

That comparison doesn't really work, because there are factors that affect the graphic adapters performance far more than memory. Your TI card has higher core speed, memory speed, pipelines, and all sorts of good stuff than the integrated graphics card. Performance with the integrated card will be very weak with something with a high polygon count like G3.

To the OP, do some research and get a new graphics card, you can have amazing leaps in performance for less than a hundred bucks. Check these out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...nd&Order=price

Make sure the card suits your computer, and grab one. It's a great investment.
