Hi Tony

Yes, well, if you’re serious about upgrading soon, I strongly suggest you get the highest end computer you can afford. FSX is very processor intensive and a quad core computer with 4GB Ram and a separate 200 GB hard drive will help no end. So will a good graphics card if you don’t already have one. You’ll need extra power too. 850 Watts is not too much and that will need a very good heat sink. And don’t let anybody put you off; Vista 64x is the way to go if you’re spending all that money.

If it is your intention to also get VFR Photographic Scenery in the future, that will lead to even more addons, so an extra 200 GB hard drive will be best to keep that scenery separate. It all works better that way.

Sorry and all that, but it can work out a little expensive, if indeed, you want to go that far.

Wish you luck

John
