Gang,
It seems to be slim pickin's for used desktops that can do a really good job of running FS9 from 2003. One thing I'd like to add (out of many things you can add to FS9 to make it better) comes from here:
http://www.blueskyscenery.com/index.html
I was hoping to be able to get a system with three 3-D video cards that runs fast (I was told the simulator can't take advantage of multiple core CPUs) and a version of Windows that I can put online so I can do those downloads. Has anybody got any ideas on what I should look for on eBay? I don't seem to be finding too much and really, since I only jumped from Windows 3.1 to XP a year ago, I really don't know what I am doing. Any help would be appriciated. If anybody can put me in touch with someone who wants to upgrade and sell their old system, that would be nice, too, but please reply off list so as not to discourage others.
Thanks,
Sean
