It's Vista if it matter.

Yes it will handle ShipSim on full graphics

If you're gonna boost your post count, at least try to do it in a polite manner!

How does Windows Vista works with Ship sim?

With Vista you may want 4 Gb of RAM, I'm not sure that's in the above setup..

Get a new username. It's disgusting!

Lanedre · « **Reply #9 on:** February 19, 2008, 20:08:12 »

Keep in mind that if you have 4Gb in Vista 32 bit it will only use about 3,3Gb of the ram(I have 4Gb in Vista 32 bit just because I want as much as possible

)

Minimum spec for Vista is 2Gb. However, extra memory is always useful no matter what applications you're running. With prices being relatively cheap, now is a good time to buy it (and install it, to be really useful).

My same thoughts Terry, better to have it installed before you buy it..

Personally, I like ripping open brand new PCs and stuffing them with more memory, extra disk controllers, bigger power supplies and many TB of hard drives.

But then, I am a geek.

I had a bit of cold feet when I first had to open up my computer, but it is a good way to understand a bit what goes on in there..I'm still a tourist though..

Tourism is always a good start, it can be fun learning all about your PC for the first time

I confine myself to checking the oil and changing the spark-plugs, so to speak..

But I strongly reccommend that start with an old spare one! Don't use the trusty main PC, in case you need to download a driver or similar...

Oh dear. I took you literally. Excuse me while I wipe the 3-in-1 from my PC.

Indeed

Although I'm quite brave with tech stuff most of the time. I crashed my first PC 20+ times in the first few weeks (full reinstall required each time), but I knew exactly what it was capable of after that

I actually did that oil thing once, years ago. A girlfriend had a crackly volume-control on her transistor-radio, so I poured some oil in it..
It didn't help..

Hint: Switch Cleaner

saltydog · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2008, 00:27:20 »

Yes, I know that now..

I think I'm being over-helpful then

Must be nearly sleep-time I guess

Actually, 4B pencil works best. I used to open up the pot, then gently run a the 4B pencil round the track. Worked perfectly!

I still do that for the few things that use a carbon potentiometer. (Told you I'm a Geek!).
