Just got a new Windows 7 machine. My old computer is running FS2004 with a Garmin 430 (non WAAS). Will this run on the Windows 7 64 bit machine, or do I have to buy a new Garmin 430 from reality xp? If I can transfer and run it all, how do I get the Garmin 430 on the new machine? Thanks.

How will this work for FSX and X-Plane? This prices out about 1500. DO I NEED TO OVERCLOCK TO GET VERY GOOD RESULTS???

I was looking at a computer at Tigerdirect: http://www.tigerdire...6611&CatId=4928This is an I5 3.2 ghz machine with a 5770 video card, but only a 500W power supply. Would this machine do a decent job with FSX? Is the I5 3.2 ghz much slower than a I7 950 processor for FSX?

I really want to buy a mid price (up to 1500) built computer with a warranty: Please let me know if I should change any of these components on a cyberpowerpc.com "Holiday Special 14)coolermaster HAF 912 casedefault fans1-7 950 I didn't select overclocking (should I, and if so, what other components to I want?)xtreme liquid cooling 120 mm fan(2-Way SLI Support) Asus Sabertooth Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3 FCLGA1366 ATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, SATA-III, SATA-II RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 1 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI (All Venom OC Certified) [+0]6 gb DDR3 1600 mhz ramGTX 470 1.2 mb800W Xtreme gear power supply64 GB Corsair Nova SSD 1 TB 7200 RPM Data DriveAbout $1450.00I don't plan to do a lot of gaming, just FSX, and FS2004--- mostly instrument approaches, but I want smooth performance without breaking the bank.
