I have McAfee and I shut it down before I launched MS FS X. AAMOF, I
unloaded EVERTHING before I loaded the sim for the first time already
knowing I was under powered.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I have MSFS 2002 and see no reason to
upgrade (for what I use it for, which is to keep my scan up and practice
instrument failures).

FSX runs well on my three-year-old PC. One feature that's important for
instrument flying is the ability to establish multiple visibility layers,
making it possible to practice the often tricky transition from being in the
clouds to being in poor visual conditions. (Older versions can do that too,
but only with some additional software.)
