Would a PC with 512kb Cache and 2.2Ghz processor run FSX or similar size program?
It isn’t just down to the processor, it’s down to the amount of RAM you have and your graphics hardware. These are the bare minimum requirements for FSX: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista Processor: 1.0 Ghz RAM: Windows XP SP2 – 256MB, Windows Vista – 512MB Hard Drive: 14GB Video Card: 32MB DirectX 9 compatible Other: DX9 hardware compatibility and audio board with speakers and/or headphones Online/Multiplayer Requirements: 56.6 kbps or better for online play That doesn’t sound like a lot, but that’s just to get the program working! If you actually want FSX to run smoothly and with good graphical quality you will need a much faster processor (the faster the better), a good amount of RAM (certainly a minimum of 2GB if you’re running Vista), and decent dedicated graphics card (not a low-end graphics card, or some integrated graphics chip built into a motherboard).
