Hi all, I just got my new PC and it is running FSX beautifully with most of the higher settings. I researched first and got the best price I could find:CASE: Antec Mid Tower SONATA II 450W Piano-BlackCPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Dual Core 2.40GHz, LGA775, 4MB L2 CPUMOTHERBOARD: ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium nForce 590 SLI Chipset/DDR2 800,667,533/Gb-Lan/Audio/1394/Wireless Lan/Raid/PCI-E (2 full-speed 16x Pci-e slots)(I went with a very high-end board for upgrades and I love it but some $ could be saved by getting a lesser board.)MEMORY: 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800HARD DRIVE: SATA: 320GB 7200rpm Western Digital 16MB cacheVIDEO: XFX 7300 GS (changed it out later)DVD-RW: DVD Burner 16X +/- DL Sony/LG BlackFLOPPY DRIVE: 3.5 inch Mitsumi 1.44MB Black FaceOS: Windows XP Pro 32Price: approx. $1550 at store.alphapcstore.com------------------------------------------------VIDEO CARD: EVGA 7900GS KO for $166 (after rebate) at tigerdirect.com------------------------------------------------MONITOR: ACER AL1951D 19" LCD 2ms (no ghosts) for $199 at newegg.com------------------------------------------------Everything was shipped in perfect condition and exactly as I ordered.

A few questions.Did you do any tweaks at all?Can you save your setting and post it here?And finally, what is FR directly over New York City.

Ok here's the answers:No tweaks so farNo overclocking (PLENTY of CPU/GPU potential for this!)GRAPHICS1280x1024x32trilinearAA off (video card)global tex: HIGHlens flare: offlight bloom: offadvanced anim: onAIRCRAFTdefault panel: 2Da/c shadows on ground: offa/c shadows on self: offa/c landing lights: onSCENERYradius: LARGEmesh complx: 63mesh res: 10mtex res: 15cmwater effects: high 1.xland detail: onscenery complexity: EXTREMELY DENSEautogen complexity: DENSEground scenery casts shadows: offspecial effects: medWEATHERcloud draw distance: 80mithermal vis: naturaldetailed clouds: oncloud density: medTRAFFICairliners: 30%G/A: 14%airport vehicles: medroad vehicles: 20%ships: 73%leisure craft: 72%FRAME RATE: 22fps (1pm EST 2000ft over NYC in Beech Baron with clear weather)... 17fps (moderate clouds)Hope this helps!

That's the kind of info we need. What the ram on your video card?I want to go with dual 1 gb cards. Is that overkill?

My EVGA 7900GS KO video card has 256mb memory.FYI: I think the core graphics clock is at 500mhz (EVGA factory overclocking from 450mhz) but I forgot the memory clock speed and will look it up in case any one wants to know.
