Hey all, hear 2004 is a hog. I'm runnin....

2.53g P4 with 1G PC2700 ram, geforc3 ti500 (64mgcard). XP home with plenty of hard drive space.
I can usually get around 35-50 frames out of 2002 with about a med- high set up on the graphics. Decent to look at. Not screenshot quality but good nuf for me.

Do I need to kick out for that geforce fx 5900 yet or can I wait?

Thanks,

tire

Yes, i'm sure that would be no problem. If you have a bit of spare cash, I would also recommend getting the 5900 - there is a big difference 🙂

Hi Tiretracks, I have almost same as you..except I use Rambus Ram. It will run OK for you. I also added the 5900 Ultra, and WOW!! I don't think frame rates were much more but I really notice improved graphics. My Asus mobo only supports AGP 4X. Good Luck, rob

Your system should be ok for running FS2004 at lower setting, but a graphics card upgrade always helps.

looks good to me... BTW if you think FS9 is a hog...take alook at some (mostly all) of the posts in the FSX forum..."FSX runs horibbly on my comp?, Why wont FSX run on my comp?". all the answers...You need a really good computer to run FSX. 😉
