Eh, I have a MacBook Pro, so no MSFS. Even if I install Windows I probably
don't have the resources to run MSFS on a laptop. Now, if I had an eight
core
Mac Pro with NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and about 16Gb memory and Vista, well,
maybe I could run all the features on MSFS X. But so far my understanding
is
that there are no computers capable of taking advantage of all the features
of this program, short of spending $10,000 on the above system. Or at least
that was the rumor I heard from a guy in Sun City who calls himself "The
Colonel." And if I had a system like that, you can bet it wouldn't be
running
MSFS. I would be too busy playing with Aperture, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere,
Final Cut Studio and Shake.


You can always try running FS 2004. I've seen it run just fine on
laptops.



So have I. But actually MSFS bores me to tears.
