hi there,i'm pretty much on the same boat as you, I moved houses and I haven't had time to get back into flighsim.I installed FSX last night and did a quick flight from Sydney to Melbourne, I sat there for a couple of minutes trying to work out the keys to Push back.I'm another SSD fan so count my vote. I bought an OCZ Vertex 2 120GB, can't wait for these to go down in price... they are FAST! I've never seen Adobe Premiere CS5 load so fast.I don't want to hijack your thread by posting my upgrade specs but will definitely keep an eye on it.
