Hi MMMMMM,

I'm just looking at "3Gb/s hard drive", If you could afford it, I'd suggest you get something with 4 + Mark. At least, that way, you're prepared for the future. Especially when Vista takes 1GB to run. But anyway, you'll be fine with that 3GB anyway, for now, I think. Though, we'll see what Mr. Russell has to say :lol:

That seems a nice card too. I have a GeFroce 7300, and it works a treat-you should be fine with that ;D

Jack.

Hi Devin,
320 gb for a hardrive is kinda small if you check my slow ship sim problem post you will see the PC im getting and it has a 750 gb Hard drive also you may want to upgrade the ram because 4 seems kinda small for vista I'd go with 6gb
Also it is a LaPtop not a Labtop  :doh:

Hey Devin, I hope the new Computer will come. Ship Sim requires 2 GBs, NH is just a addon, doesn't take 2 more GBs and I bet it is good for Virtual Sailor to play. These 2 games, I like the most but SS08 rules over VS7 in my mind.

I'd certainly get that then!

Even though it may be a bit costly-it's worth it.
