October 21, 200817 yr Hello Chaps,Looking into buying a new system which would be just for FS2004. I have no interest in FSX as I think that FS2004 more than suits my needs. I am looking to be able to run FS9 at full settings fluidly.Your help as always is greatly appreciatedWindows Vista Ready Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 CPU 1GB nVidia 8600GT PCI-Express Graphics Card 2 x 1GB Kingston OR Corsair 667Mhz DDR2 Ram 320GB SATA 2 7200rpm Hard Drive 22x Dual Layer DVD +/- Rewriter Standard 450W PSU 5.1 Channel Sound 2 Front and 4 Back USB Ports Onboard 10/100 Ethernet - Broadband Ready 1 Year Parts & Labour Warranty The price for this system is
