PC for Phoenix

[Flybar]

Having finally succumbed to the march of Phoenix (well it is 2nd hand) Can the PC users out there please advise on a minimum spec. cheap PC, laptop or tower that is available to run it on.

I say cheap, as if the cost are toooo much I may as well upgrade the Mac.

Also does Phoenix come with any manuals as there aren't any with mine (the perils of 2nd hand purchase).

Cheers

If its an intel Mac stick with that and just up the Ram install bootcamp and hey presto it works fine.

Macs will run phoenix fine as long as you have a good gfx card and not the shared ram card like the mac mini or macbook

Unfortunately my Mac is non Intel so the upgrade would have to be to the new iMac
£900+. Any PC I bought would only be used for Phoenix. I assume all the upgrades etc I can download to my Mac then copy over to a PC.
Even the Manuals an "exe" file. Whats wrong with PDF's ?

Flybar,

900 pound Mac.... I recommend you go look at Apples prices again their not all 900 pounds iMacs start at 799.

If the Only use for a PC is Phoenix poor that money into an iMac and have the best of both worlds.

Look on :

www.ebuyer.com

they do some nice cheapo pc's and all you'd need to do is add a better gfx card to it. Mine was under 500 and that's buying the gfx card to go with it, runs Phoenix beautifully, come to that, runs FS9 at 40+ FPS too.
