Really? For add 1gb to mine was only about $50.

I assume you are in a tight budget?

The system is good, RAM might make some more intense games like FSX better though. I don't think it would have much of an effect on shipsim.

Nice systems I like the second one better with intel instead of AMD, but it has ATI instead of nvidia... hmm..

2GB of RAM is the absolute minimum for running SS on Vista. More is better. I don't know what SS09 / 10 will require... Get as much as you can afford.

Keep in mind that a 2.2GHz processor isn't fast enough. So that seems to rule out the Celeron-based PC. Get as fast as you can afford.

That looks to be a better specification, but I see that it says "sound card none". It looks like it means that it has a sound system on the motherboard, but you should check that.

I have a pretty basic Dell computer that I just bought about 4 months ago and all I did was add a graphics card to it and it runs ship sim great.
