Yikes! This is not good. I've been waiting for FSX for a while now, being rather heavily addicted to FS9 and now I'm a bit worried. I have a 3.2 Ghz P4 that I haven't done anything fancy to and I just got a new graphics card, an ATI Radeon X1800 that is by all means spectacular. Whereas the old graphics card I had, an ATI X750, was always fussy and melted down after 6 months of use, this one is thus far bulletproof. I have played the demo for FSX and while it was slower than FS9, it isn't awful. Regardless, I will almost certainly end up buying FSX sooner rather than later, although the latter seems more likely after hearing this.
