Question How do I find out what spec my PC is?

Hi

I've ordered 2004 flight simulator, cos I'm sad! Anyhoo, it requires,

Multimedia PC, Pentium II 450 MHz or faster processor (with 8 MB 3-D video hardware acceleration)
64 MB RAM for Windows 95, 98, and Me; 128 MB RAM for Windows 2000/XP
1.8 GB hard disk space
4x CD-ROM drive or faster
DirectX 7.0a video driver


Is there an easy way to find if I've got all that?

Cheers!

I'm sure it'll be fine. I was running flight sims well before this new fangled Pentium stuff and having a whole load of geeky fun.

Bob, alternatively you could have just had a look on the front of the tower where I left the sticker with all the info on

Our pc is about a zillion times better than the above listed spec so you'll be ok. Just don't forget to polish your anorak before you play

Get a program called AIDA32. This will tell you EVERYTHING about your PC.
