Hello All,

I will have (hopefully) about 7500-10K to spend on computer parts for flight simulation for student training. The computer does not necessarily have to come through GSA, but it would help lighten the load with the paperwork. Being out of computers for a while, I have tenatively come up with two option. Both would be powering a Panasonic TH-42PHD7UY 42 inch plasma monitor. Request your feedback, both pro and con, on the proposed setup.

AMD option

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Processor with HTT
ABIT AV8 MOBO
ATI Radeon X800 PRO 256MB DDR3
WD Raptor 10K 74MB/8MB cache
4GB DDR PC-3200 @333Mhz


Intel Option

Intel P4 w/HT 3.73 Mhz
Intel 925XE chipset
NVIDIA GFORCE 6800 Ultra PCI Express 256MB DDR3
WD Raptor 10K 74MB/8MB cache
4GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 533MHZ

Sound card for each would be a SB Audigy.

Would you guys recommend different components? I would be running XP pro with Real flight simulator G3 on it. I need great resolution, large screen, your feedback and luck to make this proposal go through.

Thank you for you time.
Dave
