Mark Wolpert Posted July 5, 2008 at 11:53 AM Posted July 5, 2008 at 11:53 AM Almost any modern core 2 duo computer will do. Get a 512 vid card. Windows xp with 2gig ram and you are good to go. There is really no point in going overboard if you just plant to run FS9, it will run great regardless. If you plan to also run FSX that is whole different ballgame and you will need to aim for the fastest CPU you can get your hands on....then overclock it. Mark.

As a Mac man I don't know what a "core 2 duo" PC is, but if that refers to a dual processor, AFAIK FS9 isn't dual processor aware.

It's a dual core processor, and actually Apple uses Core 2 Duos in the current Macs as well. Creator of VATSIM Monitor, a sidebar gadget for Windows Vista.

Luke Kolin Posted July 7, 2008 at 05:44 AM Posted July 7, 2008 at 05:44 AM I wouldnt build a PC for FS9 though. I think its starting to die off. Interestingly enough, our own statistics have FS9 gaining share for the past four months running - it's now at the same level (22%) as it was in February 2008. Interestingly enough FS9 had a higher share 60 days after release than FSX has after almost two years. The advantage we have today is that a top of the line dual core FS9 machine will also be a pretty decent FSX box if it ever gains acceptance. Cheers! Luke ... I spawn hundreds of children a day.

As a Mac man I don't know what a "core 2 duo" PC is, but if that refers to a dual processor, AFAIK FS9 isn't dual processor aware. While FS9 can't take advantage of more than one core/processor (ok-there is limited threading which can be spread across cores - but you won't see any advantage) you can move FS9 to one core on its own and the rest of the stuff, eg: AS6 to the other core ... Don't the Macs have the 2 or 4 core processors yet? IIRC you can get multicore/processor Macs... FS9... 3.6GhZ, 4Gb RAM, NVIDIA 8800GTS ... works a treat!
