Found this website that checks your system compatablity.. I guess I'm in the range anyway.. Pretty cool..! You can check your system to see how it stacks up for running FSX or whatever game/program you want to run.. I tested mine for FSX. I also found out that I needed to update my drivers for my video card.
Cheers..!

Danny, just type "can you run it" in google. The first link showing is the one.
Dale, I wouldn't trust this site very much. I just tried it and throws exactly the same results at me, with a system 200% slower than yours

Not to be a downer, but my experience has been that these sites can often conceal spyware. Not saying that this particular one does, but I'd be skeptical of anything that "scans" your computer via a website. In fact, (and I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys) it's good internet common sense to be wary of *any* website that asks you download and run any ActiveX or JavaScript application regardless of its origin.
Also, note the recommendations that the site is showing you for FSX likely are the minimum system requirements that Microsoft shows on the box. Sure, you could run FSX on a system with the recommended settings, but it wouldn't run well at all. Because of that, I'd say that this site is not particularly helpful.

Yeah.. You have to look at the graph on the side to see where your specs fall in. I just thought it was a cool way to see how my system stacked up. I don't think there's any worries about spyware on that site or my AVG would have alerted me to that fact.. I would'nt direct anyone to a site that might be questionable.. However everyone here uses youtube all the time and that place is famous for infecting computers with all manor of garbage.. Guess it's up to the user weather or not they want to risk it..
Cheers..!
