I just received my newest purchase:Alienware ALXFX 60 Processor w/ dual core4 gigs of Ram250Gs Hard Drive(2)7800 GTX w/512 mb (SLI)21 inch LCD MonitorWater cooledEtc.....I just installed FS2004...It runs great...I have the Fps @ 30, however it us like a wild horse, trying to do more. At 30fps, the counter doesn't move, so I guess I could raise it.I am still tweaking the system to my liking...it will probably take a while. I haven't added all the add on's to FS yet....That will take some time, as I have a lot......If your intersted in how I like it in a few weeks, I report back.....Stay tuned...Paul

Holy moly, that is one smoking machine. Get yer wallet out! I would hope FS would run at at least 30 and not budge. However, one must compare apples n apples. I am using FSG 38 or better meter mesh; Ground Environment; ActiveSky with 5 cloud layers, autogen maxed, terrain mesh max, everything max, and a few other addons. So we can really see what is going on with your powahouse, describe all the performance-affecting addons you have, resolutions, etc.Noel

With that amount of raw power, no need for tweaking, LOL. What's to report back other than your house got repoed because you couldn't afford the payment after getting this beast, LOLNice rig, although overkill for FS9, curious to see what you get for FSX, LOLRegards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International
