Hi Dene,
FWIW I run fg (always cvs), on this ageing P3 box (under
Slackware linux). It is in fact a dual 1ghz P3 smp, but as I
understand it (and observation of cpu usage bears it out),
fg uses the second processor only when loading scenery
tiles and I don't think its presence makes much difference
to my overall experience.
For the past couple of years I used a GeForce4 MX 440 /
64MB. The mobo ties me to AGP 2x.
I don't have a basis of comparison with a range of hardware
(and fg seems no longer to offer the option of displaying
fps), but the sim always ran pretty smoothly - though it
helped to if I disabled specular highlights. Only on the
approach to one or two dense areas of scenery eg (San
Francisco), was I aware of things slowing down a little.
Due to a possible fault developing on the GeForce4 I just
changed to a GF FX 5500 / 256MB. I have not experimented
much as yet, but my initial feeling is that I am not seeing
any significant improvement over the old card so far as fg
is concerned.
Regards,
Geoff
