Grrr... X-Plane..

How much memory? 256 meg should be considered minimum. X-plane was a slug until I did some up grades on my son's computer. Some of the older versions are not as demanding on the hard ware. Gary Deaver

hmmm... about 512M of memory (I have 256 right now) is going to cost me like

what? $3K for a memory upgrade?

I'd swap out the whole machine for $1,800 less $150 rebate, and get a DELL. Check out this configuration, for example

Dell Dimension 8300 Series: Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.80GHz w/800MHz front side bus/ HT Technology Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional Save $150 with mail-in rebate. Price shown before rebate FREE UPGRADE! 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHz

for a little more money, upgrade the Sound card to an Audigy, get a better monitor, add speakers and get 3 years maintenance onsite

I own 3 DELLS, and have bought 5 others for family members. I have also been responsible for over 100 DELLS in university I was the IT Director for, and will swear by DELL quality and value!

Correct.

The US dollar is the defacto world currency right now, second is gold, and third is now the Euro, but before that it was a tie between the UK pound, the Japanese Yen, and the Danish Kroner?

Yeah but it doesn't count until it starts with 666. ; )

I agree that NASA and the Air Force adopting Chris Taylor's Grrr as an X-plane would be a sign of the apocolypse.

Maybe, but not programatically much different from NASP, except NASP has so far cost ALOT more and wasted life potential of thousands of engineers and managers.

At least Grrr is a diming flicker in time and space, and has done less damage to the society, the economy, the space program and NASA.

And our grandchildren will not be paying for Grrr for decades either :)

Perspective matters. Fact matters.

Hey Peter. Do you have any data on the Grrr... X-Plane? My brother will be visiting next week and said he could swing by your place on the way to the airport if you had something.
