    That's the one from Best Buy right? I had it for a couple weeks, runs FSX really well.... 1440x900 with AA and Antroscopic filtering with settings medium/high, only thing that really slows anything down is autogen and the building stuff set to the higher settings, as that takes some hard core CPU power. I was very pleased with it though, ran smooth and look gorgeous! Love flight sim!

    Yeah, the one BestBuy had on sale about a month or so ago, it was right when the SLI's were coming out, and I didn't know which to buy... so, I bought the one from Best Buy, the 7483 with the Bioshock sticker on the palm rest, and really liked it.... but, curiousity won out and I tried an SLi1 as well, and ran em side by side to compare... and the 7483 ran FSX fine, a little slower than the SLI, but not hugely so by any means... FSX is also very CPU dependant as well, and the 1.66 Duo is still a good CPU. It's a good computer, I was pleased with it, just ended up keeping the SLi1 since I already had it and had a little extra cash at that time.

    I did update them, honestly i don't think I ever tried it with stock drivers.... I like to run newer drivers, as they work better with newer games and typically give better perfomance and compatibility, usually anyway

    Should play though with the standard drivers though, but i'd say try the new ones
