I want to run FSX and Acceleration, VLC or Orbx. In the past I have been able to run FS9 fairly well. My computer is getting a bit old now.
Can any of you computer experts have a look at my system details and comment.
If I need to get it upgraded can I have your recommendations please.

A SSD will also speed up load times.

I follow Rocky's SSD for the OS , but put in a Raptor 10200 HD for your FS or that only, so many chopping and changing with flight sim .. and if your SSD packs a sad , little or no warning and you will looses all information and data.
