my only comment. Add more ram.

[MMMMMM]

rams is like 100.00 dollarss more

[Agent|Austin]

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..

[MMMMMM]

yha this for SS08

[TerryRussell]

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.

so terry im guessing the first one 2.8GHz
and the 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300, DVI-I, VGA?

[TerryRussell]

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.

ok i will when i get the money to buy it

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.
