The PMDG simulations run as well in W7 as any system, go to 64b if you have motherboard drivers that support it.Your video card is not your bottleneck to performance for MSFS, which would be the CPU. Just my opinion.

My [email protected] is not enough to play PMDG JS41 at some nice detail level. If You don't care about graphics maybe simple OC will do the trick, but if You think about setting sliders at least to 'middle high', then You'll need stronger system.Second thing is RAM. Windows7 will use more than 1GB and FSX needs 1GB at 'medium low'. You may ran out of memory fast.
