I personally will go for Prepar3d once my financies settle down (my wallet is still in shock from America) one thing I did find though is you download it from lockheed martin website ? $49.99 if memory serves (only viewed it 2 hours ago).
I just hope it runs on my PC :\

You're welcome. Yes, 50 bucks for the academic version, it has a very very small, almost invisible watermark saying "prepa3d" in the top right corner. In earlier threads on p3d, I posted a screenshot, trust me, it is no issue to worry about, not at all. Yes, LM is the website from which to ownload it. If you think your rig can handle FSX, it should handle P3D even easier, I think. Some people reported a gain of 10-20 frames when comparing both sims on one and the same system. For most, however, it seems to be relatively the same frames. But: greater stability, fewer issues, no in-sim hardcoded RAM limit of 4GB - FSX cannot use more than 4 GB, where P3D specs say 4
+ GB recommended. Further recommended specs is - in LM's words from 2009: quadcore with 2 GHz per core.
