Satelite L500D & flight sim
Posted: 29-Dec-2011 20:29
 
I am enjoying using MS FSX flight simulator on my laptop ( not having a desk top any more}
After looking at some of the specs in the PC Pilot magazine for customising a PC for flight sim usage, it seems quite scary that my little computer is doing such a good job (although it could be a lot better given the correct hardware )
Question is ..am I harming my laptop with continually running FSX ??...*.Alan+

No. Why do you think so?

because of the high spec required to drive a top of the line flight sim program, have a look at this link & then get back to me..
