jcupido:
Actually it's not totally for James but I noticed that James posted quite a significant defense for FSX vs FS9.  I tried to switch 8 months ago but realized by specs ould not handle it.  I would like to reconsider and I was wondering what, if any, existing hardware specs would run FSX (with all the add-ons) at at least 20 fps in the most intense locations (over JFK for instance).

James..I'm really interested in knowing if you achieve those FPS with all those nice add-ons you have for FSX (FEX, GEX, FSDT airports, etc).  What are your specs and what is top of the line right now?  I think you also mentioned there would be some new hardware out this fall.  Wondering if it's worth the wait?

Of course the question above applies to anyone who can help, I'm just picking on James because of his "sell me FSX" post not too long ago!  Hey..it got me interested!   :)

newmanix:
Yeah James!

How about a video???? You gonna post a video for us????  ;D It's time to see the proof in the pudding James!

wideloadwhitford:
With my specs I can achieve a whopping 12 FPS!! ahhh FS9 Forever.

jcupido:
When it comes to flight simming, very little is out of my price range.  I just want to know what will run FSX at 20 to 40 FPS EVERYWHERE!  Give me some specs as I do not have time to buy something and then test and return.  High end quad processor/high end graphics card are what I am really interested in and can they achieve the 20 to 40 I speak of.

JamesChams:
I suggest that you talk to a dealer that can do a custom system for you; Mr. Nick Churchill had someone do that for him.  I deal with extremely high-end Server-based workstations etc.  After Sept. I'll post what I have for you if you want.

But, here are a few systems that will do nicely at a decent price range, if you want one NOW!  However, with FS there is no 100% guarantees that it will continue to do that with newer products.

Eg. of customized (Packaged) Systems: (These are around $1,000-> $2,500 USD)
