What would your Ultimate FSX PC be like. Here is mine if I had a few thousand to spare. I know that some of us here are privileged to have something close to this or some of the parts in here. Maybe this could run FSX maxed out comfortably.

 

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 "Yorkfield"

3x Nvidia 8800 Ultra SLI

4 GB Corsair Dual Channel DDR3 RAM

2 x 1 TB Hitachi Hard Drives

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Sound Card

Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1250W PSU

 

What do you think of it?

I've got...

 

Intel Core 2 Quad E6600 @ 2.4 ghz

3GB of RAM

1 nVidia 8800 GTS

Who knows what hard drive

Soundblaster Live! 24 Bit external

 

And I run FSX Acceleration in DX9 maxed out comfortably with the traffic down low and FSInn not running. I get 20-50 FPS depending on where I am.

Currently Running:

 

Dell Dimension XPS 600

Pentium® D Processor 940 with Dual Core Technology (3.20GHz, 800FSB)

2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2 DIMMs

20 inch Ultrasharpâ„¢ Digital Flat Panel

Soundblaster X-Fi Elite Pro

ATi Sapphire X1950XT 512MB

365GB SATA Hard Drive

 

But my question would be, why on earth would you ever possibly run 2 x Terabyte hard drives unless your trying to give PIXAR a run for there money.

Besides, for what that system would run you it would be cheaper to get your PPL.

 

Oh, and as for FSX? Runs perfectly while sitting in a drawer beside my system.
