I run FS2004 on a 4 year old PC and would like to upgrade. I'd be grateful for advice.
Currrent PC (Win XP).
Asus Rampage Formula mobo; Q9650 @ 3GHz; 3GB DDR2; Nvidia GTX260 216 cores o/c; Western Digital standard HDD 7200rpm 500GB; 650W PSU.
I run a lot of addons (REX, GE Pro, dozens of airfields) and I've made a hobby almost of AI. Mostly the machine runs very well but large airports are frame-rate hitters. Would I see much of an improvement if I built an i-3 or an i-5 machine? And should I replace a 4 year old, heavily used PSU?
Finally, if I build a new machine I'd install W7x32 or W7x64. Not sure which?? After this how best to transfer my existing FS2004 XP setup to the new W7 machine?
Thanks!
John
