First off, my current FS PC. It's a homebuild, around an Asus A8v mobo, AMD64 3500+, NVidia 6800GT 256MB, 2GB RAM, twin 140GB SATA harddrives. Quite good for its time, and not past it yet! The pic is of a mate arriving at my home field of Enstone in his 172.

My 'old PC', a Dell Dimension 8200, with a 2.0GHz P4, 160GB ATA HD, 512MB RAM (not upgradable owing to the fact that the kind of RAM used was "innovative" at the time, which means it didn't catch on, and to upgrade it to 1GB now would cost about the same as two new PCs! It still has FS9 on it, but is mainly used for file storage, web browsing, flight planning and office type stuff. The pic is a DA40 Diamond Star on short final for Enstone 08 hard.

This is my office laptop. It's a Sony Vaio, with 16 inch screen, P4 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 30GB HD. It's more 'desktop replacement' than 'notebook'. I use it for software development, writing up the Oxford2Oxfort trip reports in front of the TV, doing the occasional repaint etc. It's about to have it's HD upgraded, since it's far too useful to be crippled by a piddling 30GB! The pic is Fox Glacier, pulled off the web somewhere.

Finally, my travelling laptop. It's a Samsun Q35, tiny little thing, Centrino Duo dual-core 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 100GB HD, WiFi. I take it travelling with me, so it has Dev tools, office tools, ITunes, region-hacked DVD, FS9 (although I've not found a decent 'travel' joystick!). I installed the FSX demo, and it ran surprisingly well, although I've not tried the final release. The pic is of me taxying Victor November for fuel at a small airfield somewhere in France. (It's the kind of place you need to shoo the sheep off the runway before you can take off!)

Actually what's nreally quite interesting about this thread, is seeing the icons on people's desktops, and hence the software they're running!















Welcome , heck , I have to get me one off those Wide Sreen Monitor's
