Yello guys,
I'm composing a new PC for flightsimming (msfs2000 and Falcon4), and also a little bit first person shooters (UT, ...)
what I was thinking:
abit mobo (133 mhz), 256 mb ram, ibm deskstar75 30gig, sblive, 19inch and 17inch screen,
AMB thunderbird 800 mzh
my questions:
- is it worth going to 1 ghz for sims? (250$ versus 700$ in belgium!!)
- I want to play fs2000 on dual screen setup: I was thinking of buying a geforce MX (32mb)... what do you think? will this work fast enough for dual screen flightsimming?
(probably will be running windowed, 1024x768x32... I saw on the Q3 benchmarks that the MX then begins to get markably slower that the geforce2 gts in Q3 at these resolutions.
- or better going to the faster geforce 2 gts, BUT which PCI video card then to buy for the second monitor? this will then be very slow, no? (or will also the framerates of the first monitor be affected by this second slower video card?)
which PCI video card would you then recommend (has to be cheaper of course... I'm not buying a voodoo5 for just serving as second screen)
thanks guys for the help.
cheerio,
Maarten.
