Great... but do yourself a favour after satisfying your FSX urge - install FS9 with one of those addons that used to run like a slideshow, and be amazed and delighted.
FS9 is only now coming into its own...the definitive FSX computer hasn't seen the light of day yet unfortunately.

Your going to like the result here both FSX and FS9 , , at times so nice to back to what you enjoyed originally , a time of trial and test , X will require tweaking of course , both have the best in each other . I still use FS9 for my other addons

Now just one more thing left to do... take the CPU up to 3.5ghz and watch the frames come rolling in!
Nice system

I agree enjoy FSX but keep your FS9 disks handy you will find you still want to fly in it, my system is now upgraded and I can use things like Vistaliners 737's with my paints as AI with no frame loss issues, now thats some good gaming there
