    For Operating System, CPU and RAM
    Right click on 'My Computer' and left click on 'Properties'.

    For Graphics card
    Stay on the same screen as above then click on the 'Hardware' tab and then on the 'Device Manager' option. Click on the + next to 'Display Adapters'.

    You won't be able to max it out, no one can.
    You will get a nice balance if you "play" with the settings being carefiul with the ones that us the most "power".

    I could suggest a better GFX...I have not FSX but from what i have read, it needs something more powerful in order to get a performance close or like FS9.
    1GB of more RAM would be helpful too. Wink

    If you downloaded the Demo and were satisfied with the results, don't expect the same frame rate from the real thing. I was very disappointed. I use a Nvidie GE with 256 meg of ram, on a 2.66 pentiumD with 2gig. Ran the demo great and the program lousey on the same graphic settings

    The best you can afford.
    A high quality CPU (Core 2).
    At least 2 gigs ram.
    At least one high quality video card, PCIe (e=express).

    Later after you get Vista, more ram and a DirectX video card ( not on the market yet).

    You more than meet the standards, another gig of ram would help and a better card.

    PostPosted: Sun Oct 29, 2006 11:41 am    Post subject: FSX !?! Reply with quote

    I agree with the last guest post that FSX is intollerable for frame rates with anything but the basic scenery. The game does not use the SLI facility on my PC so I asume Crossfire won`t be of any help either.

    My oppinion is it is a very poor game, made for the PC`s of 5 years from now. Stick with 2004.

    My system spec (good, but not good enough):

    AMD 4600-64 dual core
    2 x Geforce 7800GT`s running in SLI
    2 gig DDR ram in dual channel
    250 gig SATA 2 HD
    2 x 300 gig IDE drives.
