kkk

got fs04 played it and it wouldnt work, so we rang microsoft up at £300 a min, and they found a download to upgrade my vid card, "she emailed us" but we never got any email, then she "rang up the next day" and we never got that either, but after i got back when she was supposed to ring up flight sim worked normally, but nobody had done anything, so that was weired,

anywho

now it works fine, it has the same graphics that fs98 had,
anyone know how i can update my INTEL ® CELERON ® (is that the vid card??)


& if i get a new card, can i just take the old one out and put a new one in w/o any hastle?

'Celeron' is your CPU or Processor. Download and run this program and tell us what your PC consists of so we can have some information to work with.

Well honestly you can't really expect to be able to have the graphics like on the box with a intel celeron processor. they are pretty low end, no offence.

As coffee says download the program and tell us more details.

Though i can say straight away that there is a need for a major upgrade here consisting of CPU, RAM, VID CARD and motherboard but I can't confirm that till you post the details from that program.

As long as your graphics aren't integrated you can switch cards quite easily. Go to your start menu and click on "run" and type in dxdiag. That will give a clear description of your system.  Click on the display tab and tell us what it says under the device section.

The graphics in FS2004 are considerably better than FS98 so I think you have a bit of tweaking to do.

next time try to save the pics in .jpg format, .bmp is too huge (size)

I think u should get a whole new system with at least AMD 64 or XP 3000 or higher or Intel Pentium 4 and a vid card a Nvidia GeForce 5600 or higher or Radeon 9600 or higher. 512 MB DDR and The GB u want.That should Run your FS really good.don't u think so guys?

Yes. In fact why don't we all get one. While we're at it I'd like a Ferrari 550 and a big pair of boobs full of beer as well....

...its a brand new pc!!! ,, well,, cant be more than 6 month old surely... we bawt it brand new not so long ago.

100GB

the bmp pics were automatically saved, you press F5 or 6 and it saves as bmp auto...

ok in the dxdiag, i dunno which bit your looking for, so heres all of it....


DEVICE
name INTEL ® 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv grapgics controller
DAC TYPE internal
total memory aprox 64mb
800X600

DRIVERS
IALMRNT5.dll
Version 6.13.0010.3510
DATE 15/4/2003
mini vdd ialmnt5.sys
Dii version 8


DIRECT X FEATURS
Direct draw acceleration: Enabled
Direct 3d acceleration: Enabled
AGP Texture acceleration Disabled

Notes: No problems found


you think maybee because AGP is disabled???

[Mul.]

From what i see AGP is disabled because you use intel graphics, which isn't AGP.

Ok although it is a new PC a celeron will not work that great for games. Now there is some luck here. You can buy a new Pentium 4 chip that will fit in your motherboard for about £100, and if you have an AGP slot a vid card for another £150.

The penntium 4 to get has too be up to 533mhz FSB and 512kb L2 cache as it fits your chipset

That will put your system in the good

There's your problem right there:

DEVICE
name INTEL ® 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv grapgics controller
DAC TYPE internal
total memory aprox 64mb
800X600

You have onboard graphics at only 64MB. You will never get the full potential out of FS2004 with that.

[Mul.]

that and you really need a better processor. Is your PC a dell?

Mul

[Mul.]

ok i read through on the intel website bout the i845GE chipset. It seems it also supports hyper threding technology, and AGP 4x so heres how i see it:

If you want everything to run better it is inevitable to change the CPU and add an AGP card.

So:

you could get a- Pentium 4 2.8Ghz with 533mhz FSB (512kb cache) wih HTT technology
and a 9800 pro or if on a budget a 9600 XT

Mul

[jward]

I was going to ask the same thing, Mul!

I regard selling Celeron systems as a crime especially trying to make them look as good as 2.8GHz P4's. How Dell gets away with I will never know. Never ever go near Dell for a Computer..... NEVER!!!

[borin_teen]

nop, Im a HP...

so what i need is,,, a new CPU,,, whats a agp? anywho that last thing was disabled because it told me to do it on microsoft support page, to see it idt work right.. il try it with it enabled see if it works then get back 2 ya...

[borin_teen]

just the same with enabled & disabled....

is it possible to get a new cpu without a new motherboard?

?????
