I recently got a PMDG 737 - 600/700. I never functioned correctly, and I wrote the customer service department. No replies for my requests for help. I finally got hold of the PMDG bigwig, and he is a real Asshole! So don't buy anything from PMDG. They do not provide help with problems, and only...

Hi Folks, I just joined the group (naturally with a problem). I know how to fly but don't know computers at this level of sophistication.

I'm looking at two laptops. One for $1000 has a Radeon IGP 320M with 64 MB and the other for 1300 has a Radeon AGP 345 with 64 MB. Probably both borrow memory from RAM. Does anyone know the relative merits of these graphic drivers for FS2004? Does non-dedicated memory drag down performance...
