Thanks Phil, I'll give this a whirl as the default block size that my Asus board chose was 64K on a 500GB (2 x 250GB) stripe. So currently re-installing on a separate 250GB drive and will post back if difference is noticeable.Anonymous

FSX is not good for single core processors unless you have a 3 ghz speed or something like that. I have a amd 64 athlon 2.2 ghz overclocked and a nvidia 128 mb video card. And FSX Ran very choppy. But that was without SP1. I also have a dell duo core processor that I just purchased, and FSX Ran choppy on that too had to tweak a lot of the settings and I still wasn't happy with it. But when I installed SP1 it fixed the problem it runs very smooth the graphics aren't turned all the way up but its tuned up enough to where its awesome enough for me. Honestly with FSX you wouldn't be able to max out the graphics unless you had a 512mb graphics card or greater dell makes a 768mb graphics card and a Quad Core Processor is ideal I think then you could max everything out. I had a physics accelerator put in my dell but I don't know if it contributes to FSX or not. If someone knows please let me know about the physics acceleratorAnonymous
