Runs FSX at 24 - 35fps(locked at 35). I am happy with it but would like to see some improvement(without breaking the bank would an upgrade to a EVGA 896-P3-1171-AR GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card help? and looking at Windows 7.

This is what the Mrs. just bought for her own comp(alot of her stuff is on mine till this shows up):
Intel Core i7 920 2.66ghz, 12GB Corsair DDR3, 1TB, DVDRW, (2) 9800GT SLI, 650W, Vista Home Premium 64 w/ Windows 7 upgrade

 

[kilo delta]

You'd need an X58 motherboard (socket 1366) and triple channel memory (DDR3) in order to run an i7.
Cheapest solution?...
