I agree with the comments from Andrew.



I have also been working out the specs that I need for a top notch sim
machine.



While convenient, the onboard graphics will slow you down in comparison to a
separate dedicated board. With all the math calculations required by flight
sims, the processor needs as little other stuff to worry about as possible.



You might want to consider checking out a copy of Maximum PC on the
newsstand or at http://www.maximumpc.com. Like the tag line states, they go
right to the meat without much BS.



Good luck in your search.
