I am going to college next year and cannot get a desktop as i have to travel alot but i want to play FSX on the highest settings possible. Will this configuration for a laptop do the job??? Help please!

1. Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M GPU with 2GB GDDR5 Video Memory
2. 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3820QM Processor ( 8MB L3 Cache, 2.70GHz)
3. 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 2 X 4GB
4. IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU

Nice machine... for a laptop that is damn good. Will run FSX smoothly... maybe not to the nth degree.... but it will run very nicely.

Would it make a big difference if instead of the i-7 3820QM processor that will run at 2.7 OC to 3.7 to get the I-7 Extreme edition. also 3rd gen. but runs at 2.9 and overclocks to 3.9???

Processor GHz always measure more... but for the difference in cost... and the fact that overclocking processors on a laptop won't be as efficient as a desktop... I think you do nice with what you have. Nice vid card as well.

CPU speed is king with flight simulators! One thing to keep in mind, many of those boosted CPU speeds touted by Intel are available only with the CPU running as a single core, not a multiple core CPU. FSX can and will use more than one core. Multi-core use was introduced with the SP1 update for FSX.
