I currently have a Dell Latitude CP 233Mhz notebook. It is obviously not the best driving simulation platform. I am considering taking an old 386 box and upgrading to an optimal, exclusive-use driving simulation machine (GP2 and CPR). I would like you to give me your recommendations on the hardware components I should purchase in building this new machine. I want it to work great, but I also want to spend no more than I have to. These are the issues I'll need to resolve: Motherboard CPU type CPU speed RAM (amount and type) HD CD Graphics card Sound Game port Controller Anything else I haven't listed Thanks! -- Glenn Holland (remove "ns" in address when replying)

Well, once you have bought all those parts to upgrade your machine, what will you do with the 386 ? Guy Brosseau Glenn a crit dans le message
