512 MB of RAM or Force Feedback 2???

[Voyager]

I'm not sure what to buy... Is it really worth spending $100 on a Force feedback 2? Is it really that great? Or i could go from 256MB of ram to 512MB...

I don't know...what is the better choice?

AMD K6-2 533MHZ
PNY Verto GeForce 2 MX-400 64MB PCI
(2 DIMM SLOTS full w/ 128...replacing them w/ 2 256....worth it or get the Force Feedback 2?)

If you already have a joystick, go for more RAM. If you can afford it, invest in a better processor.
Good luck!

I agree, better processor would be the best.
FF is not that good. And it can make the game a lot slower and steal A LOT of system resources.

I'd go for more RAM. RAM really speeds up your CPU, but the K6 isn't really that good for FS2002 so the best would be to get an 1GhZ Athlon or at least an 800 MhZ Duron.

Force Feedback is nice, but when I have to choose between performance and force feedback I would choose performance any time.

THANKS Everyone...i plan on getting a new 1.0GHZ Duron w/ a new case and a mombo once i get $250.. i only have a little now...i think i'll buy the ram now and buy the new stuff later. I'll need the ram for the new system anyways...

COULD ANYOEN TELL ME HOW MUCH FASTER MY PC SHOUDL RUN WITH AN EXTRA 256MB OF RAM? I HAVE 256 NOW SO IM GOIGN TO END UP W/ 512MB...

Not much. Unless your HD light stays on for a long time while flying, then it would help.
