It will run FSX... not well though. FSX depends on CPU not GPU.

I run FSX on a Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.4GHz with an 8800GT and my frames still suck on Ultra High :P

Flight Simulator 9 (2004) is still as good.

I might just use FS2004 then, thanks for your help :)

Yeah, i can run FS2004 on my current computer, but it sort of slowes down to about 3 frames per second if i paly it on any more than average detail :P Thanks for the help.

Same but I have 7050.

I can run FSX, but I have to keep everything on High not ultra high.
