I'm not into the game thing as much anymore, but I can say my last computer I got had Vista and within two days it was gone........back to XP pro, just to many problems with it.

 

You would think some techie engineering types would pre-flight this stuff before they let it hit the market.

 

Well, some developers have a big ego

Hey Stan; Have you ever played this one?

http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/trainsim.aspx

I haven't had a computer fast enough to play it yet. Now that I do, I was thinking about buying it. I hear it gets boring after a while, but I wanted to check it out because I wanted to use it kinda as a guide for our next road trip believe it or not.

 

OK, maybe this isn't the one I was thinking of since it says it only needs a 266 Processor. There is one that came out last year that was supposed to be really great. Is that the one you are trying to run? I could have sworn it was the MS one.

 

And then I found this:

I like the ones where you have to route the cargo... and stuff....

I guess I will just go back doing what I am good at.... flying....

I guess I could fire up my PC.... but I like the laptop...

ah **** it... I don't have time for games anyway

 

I ordered this today:

For the money, it seems great. I did a search for the specs on the chipset and apparently it's the only budget chipset that does this DX 9 Shader 3.0 that DX10 cards only use.

512 MB DDR2 RAM at 400 Mhz, 533 GPU at 8X AGP bus for $56? I couldn't pass it up, considering the card that came with this computer I was given was a Rage 128 Ultra with 32 MB RAM AGP 2X (and I had Dell credit available)

That Train Simulator 2.0 looks sweet though. My wife thinks I'm really having a mid-life crisis after telling her I was going to get it. I told her, we can take virtual train rides on and figure out which one we really want to go on in the fall.

She wasn't buying it too much [&o]

 

That's of course, if the one that's out now lets you I bet I can find it on eBay for like $5. There are three expansions also.

I just want to crash them

 

If you ever need it for a project....

I have a Chaintech 256mb GeForce FX 5200 for 8x AGP

you can have it.... I have one alreadyand this is an opened, not used, spare...

 

You guys need to start speaking English so the rest of us can follow what you are saying. As far as we know you guys are calling us all names.
