[stevena]

I am new to computer building and good games
I would like to be able to run some of the
flight simmulator programs on my system.
But I have no knowledge of accelerator cards
when and what are they necessary for. Steve

Stevena,

Check out he "Video Cards" section under the DISCUSSION part of this web page. There is
just a plethora of info there. The main
thing I would suggest is that you determine
whether you want "ok" graphics, or screaming
flying, ripping, etc., etc., graphics. The difference will be in the price and number of
video cards to get.
