I recall reading somewhere, i believe flightsim.com's forums, that stated one of the main factors that slows FSX down the most was RAM. I can bet that in the least, RAM will reduce the horrid stutters and the extra load time as well. I have tried the demo on my laptop, which is a pentium M 1.7 ghz rated 2.59 ghz, with 512 megs of ram, and a geforce go 6200 at 256 meg. I managed to run the thing alright at medium - medium high surprisingly, and its not that my framerates were slow, there were times where i peaked it at 20 fps, but the main thing for me was stutters and load times. My laptop is not up to bar to gaming for obvious reasons, and having the ole "occasional gamer" video never helps much, but in this case, it seems like it was not the major slowdown. Theres probably other reasons as well, but I don't have FSX, so I would not know. In the meantime, i prefer sticking to my humble FS9 on this ole office rig, since theres not much gain in upgrading a laptop if its upgradable by much

i found out that if you load fsx, then go to taskmanager while fsx is loding, and set fsx's priorty on above normal, it runs alot better!!! it workes on my new core 2 duo x2 2.13ghz and somewhat with my old pentium d x2 2.66ghz , but not my Athlon 64 1.85ghz

Watch out friend, don't want to crush your dreams but let me tell you a story. when i first tryed the demo it ran absolutely perfect on my system, but when i purschased the full FSX i was stunned to find out that FSX runs like crap on my comp.So be careful as the FSX isn't the thing to trust.
