December 2, 200916 yr It should absolutely nail fs9 at the highest of settings, looks like a nice rig, hope you are very happy with it.
December 3, 200916 yr Author Thanks guys. :( I am looking foward to getting the new computer. I haven't flow FS9 in months becasue The piece of junk computer I have now can't handle it. I get a FPS on around 10-15 now and it sucks. I tried to fly to fly to FSDT's vegas scenery a few weeks ago and it actaually stopped for about 30-40 seconds while all the textures re-loaded!
December 4, 200916 yr joseph,I just went with a new PC that is somewhat close to your specs. Looking forward to dominating FS9 instead of being down to 15-20 fps at busy airports like KLAX or KORD.1 x Cooler Master - HAF 932 High Air Flow Full Tower Chassis1 x Thermalright - Ultra 120 eXtreme 1366 RT CPU Cooler Rev C w/ 120mm Fan1 x Asus - P6T X58 w/ TripleDDR3 2000, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, 1394, PCI-E, 3-way CrossFireX/ SLI1 x Patriot - Extreme Performance Viper Series DDR3 6GB (3 x 2GB) PC3-12800 Low Latency Triple Channel Kit1 x SEAGATE - 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 SATA II w/ 32MB Cache1 x Western Digital - VelociRaptor 300GB 10,000rpm SATA II w/ 16MB Cache1 x LG - Super Multi Security DVD Writer 22x DVD+/-RW Dual-Layer, Black (OEM)1 x Corsair - HX 850W Power Supply w/ 140mm Fan1 x Microsoft - Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (64-bit) DVD - OEM1 x Intel - Core
