It's actually a computer update for me! I've been working on a fairly old system for longer than I care to admit. I fixed that this week. Now I am running a 2.5 gig dual core processor, 4 gig of ram, and a 3850 video card w/512 MB along for the ride. All of this sits on a Gigabyte motherboard. I have yet to fool with overclocking, but as is I did a flight in FSX with most settings in the middle, and graphic quality maxed.

For years I have run this game with minimal hardware. All of my screenies were usually over pretty barren scenery for a reason. Here's what I saw tonight...Never under 25 fps, which for me is huge ;)
