New Computer: Best DX10 Graphics Card for FSX

ILOVEFSX Guest

Ok, I was planning on getting a Dell with a 3.2 ghz dual core processor w/ 3GB of Ram but I would have to get a 256MB PCI Express x16 ATI Radeon X600 SE HyperMemory card. Do you think this will do the trick when FSX comes out so I can spend my money on a DX10 supported card? Thanks for your help! 🙂

Well, I think it's great. Very clear, no problems, except when I first got it I pushed it most of the way down until it almost clicked but it didn't, it took me forever to figure out what was wrong. I pushed the button on the back and it didn't budge because it hadn't quite clicked yet. Then i finally pushed it all the way down and pushed the button and it lifted easily.My computer is 3-4 years old(I can't remember!).
It is a Dell Dimension 2400
2.4 GHz
512 Mb RAM (Do I need more for FSX? I know this will work with Vista...)
Microsoft Windows XP Home
My graphics processor is some long Intel name-64MB How much will I need for FSX? I know i will need more.
80 GB hard drive
