Hi Fred.

OK, your processor looks good enough.
Plenty of RAM

I'm not familiar with that card. ATI cards do seem to cause the most problems, I've found. Perhaps someone else is familiar with this one?

Don't know if you have adequate hard disk, paging file and so on, of course.

Thank you for your answer, I dont either know wich type harddisk it is, i havent bought the computer yet. Anyway, if the ATI Card causes probems, i will buy a nVidea GeForce 8800GTS card. The only thing i know about my Harddisk is that it has 640GB Space.

Regards,
Fred.

The 88000 card should be excellent. I use an 8800 GTX on one PC and an 8600 on another. Both work wonderfully well with Ship Simulator.
