Yes, those are my speculations for my family computer. It is the only computer we have. It was built in 2007, and has all the newest drivers it can have. It is a Compaq Presario SR5233WM.
As you can see, it is in no shape to allow simulation of detailed (Over 1,000,000 polygons) rail infrastructures. It's Operating System takes all of the RAM and the Simulator is CPU dependent and requires a 1GB of free RAM. See my avatar for a common high detail locomotive I like to run. The resolution is at 1440 by about a 1000 pixels. It includes scripts.
Not a good situation. The RAM situation is being taken care of as we speak. I have ordered some 800GHz RAM that will upgrade to my computer's max of 2GB of RAM. However, I wanted to replace my GPU with something preferably lower than $150.00 and with 512MB or more of on-board RAM. My computer has a PCI-Express slot, and here's the report of further details from Compaq since I know I have not and cannot provide the necessary information.
Hyperlink to Compaq Information
Note, you can find my motherboard information and other speculations via the link.
So, I ask, what is the best GPU I can look at that meets my criteria?
Cheers,
Joshua
