Re: Real Flight 7 and a Play Station

I have a small Acer desktop which I bought from Best Buy a couple years ago for under $400 hooked up to my TV. I use it for a home theatre PC and Real Flight 7. Unfortunately it has integrated graphics and only allows me to run Real Flight on medium graphic settings. I may try to install a silent video card in it but I am not sure if it even has a spare slot for the card or a sufficiently large power supply.

Go to a reputable computer shop with the requirements and your budget and let them build one for you. You'll get a better machine that way.

Sry, didn't mean specifically a laptop.

Just meant any computer over the PS3 was easier but was just showing what "can" be done.

But I disagree with needing a $3k laptop, more like just under a Gee.

I bought my MSI CX61 only 6 months ago for $775+tax on sale for 7 bills on Black Friday from canada computers. I searched quite a bit, and it creamed every other deal on a laptop around at that time.

It has the best Intel I5 chip they make before going to I7, an Nvidea 2Gb dedicated video card, 6Gb Ram, 750Gb hard drive, Wireless N, 2 Hi-Speed USB 3.0 and 1 normal, HDMI for the sim, and Bluetooth for the flybarless systems
