I wanted to get a pmdg 737, but I'm not sure if my pc will handle it. here are my pc stats:
576mb ram (256mb of which arrived today from crucial - I am so pleased with myself for managing to install it and have my pc turn on afterwards lol. When I have enough money I will buy an external hard drive and a new graphics card)

NVIDIA GeForce4 mx 440
a 64mb graphics card
AMD anthlon proccesor 901mhz
about 1.5gb disk space

Will this handle the 737?

sorry about the double post...
I have found the pmdg website, it says you need msfs 9.1. Where is the 9.1 update?
Also, if my pc stats are ok for the pmdg aircraft, what 737 package would be best?

Your system specs are too low for PMDG, here's the PMDG site that you order it from.

yeah, your specs are a little too low. the vc uses a crazy amount of resources, and you've gotta free up some disk space and some ram. prolly wanna upgrade that card too. and even then it won't be perfect.

My PMDG is still a tad sticky with an AMD 3200+ processor and 1gb ram with 6600 nvidia 256mb graphics card.

make sure that you've got enough HD space. the more availiable, the smoother it runs
