Daniel Doorgakant Posted September 7, 2008 at 06:53 PM Posted September 7, 2008 at 06:53 PM System Requirements * Microsoft® Windows® 98/Me/XP/2000 * PC with 450 MHz equivalent or higher processor * 128 MB of system RAM for 2000/XP, 64 MB RAM for 98/Me * 1.8 GB available hard disk space * 4x speed or faster CD-ROM drive * 8 MB video card required * Sound card, speakers or headphones required for audio * Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device * 56.6 Kbps or better modem for online play I would presume that it will run FS9 In all seriousness, yep, you should be able to run it at 30+ in dense areas.

Shaun Paul Dobbs 1019770 Posted September 7, 2008 at 07:27 PM Author Posted September 7, 2008 at 07:27 PM Ok thanks, but back to the question it should be up to the task right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Smith Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:25 PM Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:25 PM Ok thanks, but back to the question it should be up to the task right? Certainly should, just watch out with only 500W power supply. I have a simmilar spec and I use 850W, especially with a big CPU fan like that.

Luke Kolin Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:32 PM Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:32 PM I use 850W, especially with a big CPU fan like that. How many watts do you believe a fan uses? Cheers! Luke ...

Ross Moir 844817 Posted September 14, 2008 at 08:04 AM Posted September 14, 2008 at 08:04 AM Cast your minds back 3 years , and see what was available then. We ran FS9 pretty well , these newer components will handle FS9 with ease !! That fan uses 1.56W , so wont impact on the PSU at all !!
