FS9 you'll be fine

FSX should run alright depending how high you want your graphics set.

 

if you can ditch vista and go with win7

looks good for fs9

I have an Acer Aspire as well. Mines got the 2.2 ghz chip as well as the 9600 GS, and with FS capped at 20 and no complex scenery/aircraft it does well. FS9 runs very well on the system no problems there as well.

 

Personally I had an unused copy of Windows XP Pro lying around and I decided to wipe the entire drive clean of all Acer "empowering" software So if you do get a win7 try to do a clean install, I'll be doing that sometime this week.

I run FSX on a laptop with [cough] Vista and it runs pretty good up to 35 frames even in large events. I am looking to switch to W7 as well

 

Mine is HP Dv7

2x 500 gb HDD (one is external)

Gforce 9600M 512mb

6Gb ram
