I currently have (eMachines W1640):
Windows XP Home Edition v2002 SP2
nVidia GeForce 4000MX
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
1.39 GHz
512MB Ram
2 fans


My question is - it it worth upgrading? Would it be cheaper to buy a new computer?

If you think it's worth upgrading, what do you suggest needs to be upgraded?

You could pick up a card for about $150 and 512mb more ram. It'll make a difference with this sim but it will be weak for the next version.
The question is, do you want to spend $200 for less than a year for this version of FS9.

I have to agree with RadarMan.All are depending in your budget. Wink
