PC Requirements for Personal Simulators
Simlog's Personal Simulators are real-time 3D applications, so
your PC (Personal Computer) will need to have sufficient computing and graphics horsepower.
Please note that many PCs, even new ones, are unsuitable, especially
those that feature "integrated CPU-graphics systems" which are 20-40 times
slower than PCs with separate graphics cards.
Similarly, Simlog does not recommend using "entry level"
graphics cards such as the nVidia GeForce 310 because they may not provide sufficient performance.
When in doubt, just contact Simlog.

Additional Recommendations
Simlog recommends a high fidelity sound card for the sounds generated
by your Personal Simulator, either integrated with the PC motherboard, or
on a separate sound card e.g. from Creative Labs or Asus.
Quality speakers will enhance the training experience, especially a
"sub-woofer" to accompany two "tweeters" (typically sold together as a
3-speaker unit).
For simulator labs,
consider having headphones at each station instead.
