Your Computer Specs

Go get Windows 7 RC.

So far, I'm Impressed with Windows 7. Despite it saying that it needs a minimum of 1Ghz of RAM I was able to load it on to my secondary PC that only has 512MB of ram. It runs fine, and is actually comparable to Win XP, if not faster in some instances.
Definitely recommended.

As for my stats;

AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+
3gHz of DDR2 (677) Memory.
250GB Hard drive.
Nvidia 8600GT (1GB of VRAM)
Vista Ultimate.

Secondary PC? Do you mean 2 OS on a same computer or in different computer? I might consider go for Seven RC if I don't have to reformat my computer.

It's a different OS on a different computer.

1.8GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295
Overclocked Intel Core i7 975 Extreme 3.86GHz 8MB Cache
24GB Triple Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz
10,000 RPM - up to 32MB cache and 600GB storage
Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BD-ROM, DVD±RW, CD-RW)

Downgraded to Windows XP

And Raven takes the lead!

that is one mean machine... Especially the graphic

Mr.Soji feels proud that YS is more than just a flight-sim for crap computer

Mr.Gates is crying sadly for his Vista

[Dragon029]

lol, Vista's not bad, I haven't had a single issue with my Vista 64 bit so far, I still will purchase Windows 7 anyways, it's sad though that Gate's isn't the king of Microsoft anymore, then again he's working on even bigger things now i.e. a Hurricane shield.

After all this time I see that maybe I should have been playing better games instead of YsFlight and Falcon 4.0. I tried MS X and I was able to run everything on full, including traffic. But, my interests are in Falcon and YsFlight. So here I stay with a overkill system.

Same thing here, although not a top notch machine but still capable of running fs9 in maximum setting. YS is simply something different.

I'm using 2 computers running Vista Home Basic and Starter respectively, I have trouble with both of them. I won't say XP is a better OS though.

I was going to start a topic, but I figured since this one existed and is directly related to what I was going to post, I might as well revive it.

My specs: HP Pavilion a6813w-b
Vista 64-bit SP2, 5GB RAM, Pentium Dual @ 2.4GHz, Intel graphics media accelerator 3100 @128MB integrated Graphics Memory

I have a question, though. I see NFS:WO has a requirement for 64MB and requires "NVIDIA GeForce3 / NVIDIA GeForce4 (Ti series only) / ATI Radeon 8500". I have 128MB, which is more memory, but it isn't Nvidia- or ATI-based. Do any of you computer people know if what I have will work? You guys probably know I know about as much about computers as aviation, which isn't much. I know how to install cards, but I fear voiding warranties and burning out the power supply.

I play fs2004 with everything on full except for the simple-level clouds and get 20-35 fps.

When in doubt, ask a professional computer tech.
