FSim 2K on new computer

Getting ready to setup new computer. Windows XP. AMD Athlon 3000+
Radeon 9200SE, 512 Mem

Will FS2K run OK on the new machine or should I consider moving up to
02 or 04.

Of 02 and 04 which one gives you the most experience for the $$

My interest in mostly general aviation.

TIA

With a sys like that 04 would be worth the money indeed!

Well, it shouldn't run any worse than it does on whatever you've got now.

That said, FS2K is, IMHO, the absolute worst version of MSFS ever. I'd at
least upgrade to 2002, and assuming it's not too much of a hardship (and
given the PC you just bought, I doubt it is), I'd go ahead and get the
Centennial of Flight edition.
