I think that is time to upgrade my old pc in order to make use of FSX + Squawkbox4 without the problems of freezed screens and I would like to ask for your opinion for that. So, the new configuration that I have in mind is consisted from the following basic computer parts:

a. Intel Core i3 2130 (s 1155 , 3.4 GHz , 3 MB)
b. 4 Gbytes of RAM at FSB 1333Mhz
c. VGA card: Chipsetn Vidia 810 MHz / Memory type: 2GB 128bit DDR3 / Memory speed: 1000 MHz

Could anybody tell me, if I will meet the freezing problems with this cofiguration regarding the combination of FSX+SQ4?

Thank you smile

It would probably be better to save up some money so you can get some better components for the upgrade. I wouldn't put anything less than a 2500k for FSX, you would want 1600mhz RAM, and at least a 550ti for the GPU, preferably a 570 if you can swing it.
