Would my new pc run FSX

just wondering, would this setup run fsx on any decent settings? Remember, I dont play fullscreen, so it would only have to be going at around 1024x768 resolution in a window screen.

3Ghz Pentium D
3GB DDR2 533 memory
256MB Geforce 7300GT
Windows XP Pro
400W PSU

I think thats about all you need to know.

Cheers

i've got a similar setup except with a 3.0GHz P4 and 1GB of memory. it's always the autogen that kills frame rates. if you turn it off then you should be able to hit 25 with most of the settings on medium-high. i'm not sure how much of performance is constrained by the graphics card.

i wouldn't worry about it, just do it :D
