Does anyone have the new Flight sim from Microsoft yet and how do you like it I heard it needs lots of power. I just bought a new video card for my PC a (Geforce GS 7900), but my cpu is a pentium 4 2.93 GHz single core I don't think it will be enough even with the video card to run it perfectly.

My cpu barely runs this program and there is alot of complaints about it already. After some research to run this flight sim at the highest settings you need the extreme 2 core processor E6800 900$ for the processor alone, a 512 mb video card another 3or4 hundred, Vista operating system with direct X 10, 2 gigs of ram with 15 gigs of open hard drive space. This cpu is not even on the market yet. From the looks of the flight sim the graphics are spectacular, but runs very choppy at high settings. the most I will do is upgrade my processor or wait until next year and get a new computer. I think Microsoft knew exactly what they were doing to get us who enjoy this flight sim to upgrade our systems.
P.S This game will be a good benchmark tester.Blake

Lex, I know your runnning a simular set-up, could you tell me what your Asus Probe CPU temperature is at?
Currently mine is reading 57-60C @ 1898 mhz (13x146) This seems a bit high to me, however even at stock 2100+ XP speeds, the CPU reads somewhere around 55C. Core Voltage is at 1.75V....
