Hi
I'd like to get some advice about a computer I'm thinking about getting. I'm interested in buying a low-end Compaq computer that has an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, Socket A. Stock SDRAM, 256 MB. I want to run all my basic apps and use it for Internet, but I'd also like to be able run Flight Simulator and Nascar as well. I know it's just a basic computer, and I'll probably have to do some upgrading, but what kind of performance can I expect to get if I run these two programs? Will this computer be able to run these two games with the computer's existing stock hardware, straight out of the box? This is my first computer in 6 years and I haven't kept up with technology enough to know if this computer will work well or not. Any advice and recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
