Thanks Frank
Obviously as this is identical to the spec of my current FS machine
which I've had for around a year, I have no fear that, as you say FSX
will literally fly on it.
My query was more regarding Win 7, coupled with the guts of the machine,
as to the possible enhancement of the current sim experience.
Would FSX actually run better on the latest MS platform, or are there
drawbacks?
The new(er) machine has 2Gb extra RAM, but the graphics card are the
same with 512 on-board. Same Tb disc.
Any improvement would need to come from Operating system, and would this
be perceptible?
Perceptible enough to spend the time reloading, re-registering etcetera
etcetera etcetera.........
I am looking forward to seeing both machines on the network, and running
widefs for Plan-G etc. The network topics and resolutions discussed at
length here have been interesting and informative but sadly, have not
resolved historic issues here in front of me. Vista and XP are not good
bedfellows, especially when the latter has squinty eyes! (resolved later
today)!
I am only frustrated that I am away from Saturday, and have only 4 days
at home in the next 3 weeks to play ! I'll also need some time to
transfer the 15 years of data currently stored on the 3 Hard Drive
within the Dell, maybe it should become a server?
I'll keep you posted
best wishes
Kev
