Anyone getting this?I tried the demo and damn the sim is beautiful.Think there lying about the system requirements thoguh my computer chugs while flying.They even got moving traffic now which looks pretty sweet.12.5 gigs worth of sim here if anyone has played any of the flight sims in the past this one might be worth looking into.they got a 850 mb demo out for it and heres some screenshots http://www.avsim.com/pages/0106/FSX/fsx_thumbs.html

I am curious about this one, next gen Windows OS:Vista user & the claim of GPS technology, authentic roads/hwys & being able to fly over my hometown & navigate familiar streets.

Anyway, I doubt my rig will run it, I need to have Mochan over for lunch & have him build me a new state of the art gaming rig for under $2K,lol.

Heck i could build you one for under 1k as long as your Harddrive and memory can be recycled for the new PC

Oh yeah, you're an American! LOL You couldn't make a decent computer up here for under a grand... a media computer sure, but not a gaming rig. I built one for my mom, and I got it all for, I think around 900 bucks before tax.

The monitor [19" SyncMaster 930B -8ms] is about all that's recyclable on my current rig [blasted RDRam board]. Maybe I'll learn to build my own when I retire & have the time. Until then its the Gateway/Dell/AlienWare custom pre-built route for me. The up side is I can buy a gaming rig that should be viable for 3 yrs aprox $2K. Now not knowing who [Dell or Gateway] will still be around that long to warranty their product is another question.

You do not have to be a rocket scientist to build your own E.T. Plus you do not need alot of time to build one.I can put a whole PC together in less then 45 minutes.The only thing i ever had problems with was where the little wires go for the power light and sound i believe.Theres like 10 wires that are coded and seem to never match the codes you hook them into on the mobo,but i just take it to my local pc tech and does it for me for like $3.
