I didn't want to hijack JIMJAM's thread, so I thought I would ask here about building a new PC that can handle FSX and P3Dv2. Here are some questions I have;

1) I currently have my FSX installed on an external HD. If I build the new rig, I would assume I would have to install FSX to the new rig then redirect it's installation (Drive letter) to my existing HD and then copy over the config settings from the old rig to the new rig to get this to work? I have moved it from one ext HD to another before, but I haven't moved it from one rig to another and I'm not sure if it can even be done. I'm hoping so, because I have years worth of scenery installations and aircraft tweaks on it.

2) I'll eventually go over fully to P3Dv2 once many of the aircraft I like in FSX can be moved over, so I would consider the new rig to be optimized for running P3Dv3 more than FSX. Though I would like to be able to run both with all of the sliders to the right.

Thanks,

Ken
