Is this computer good for FSX?

[cameron.g.coll]

Here are the specs:
Vista 64bit
AMD Anthlon Dual-Core processor
4gb of Ram
Hd Radeon 5450 (I want a new 5770, is that good?)
** And some black edition mother board i forget, i had a friend build it for me.**

The only "black edition" motherboard I'm aware of is the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition and it doesn't use an AMD processor.
AMD Black Edition processors are plentiful. Athlon dual cores have been around a long time and run the gamut of three different sockets along with upteen speeds.
Knowing the CPU(processor) number and motherboard mfg and part number would be a big help. Otherwise we will have to guess.

Click Start/Run type...msinfo32...OK the first page might give you all the info.

Important: What FS version of the sim are you planning to use? FS2002 is a no brainer, FS9(2004cof) requires more oomph, and FSX is a wallet killer...Don

Just kidding, but he does say .....good for FSX? in the title!!

It could be OK, but the graphics card is going to be weak. But then if the processor is weak, then even a 5770 is not going to help much.

You know me, Jim! Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees!
