X-Plane v8 is a big step up from v7 in terrain modeling. However, that
does come at the expense of requiring much more disk space and a bit
more CPU/GPU horsepower.

For a 3ghz CPU, but with less than a gig of memory, and no AGP
graphics, will v8 run well? If not, would a PCI card and/or more ram
make it run worthy?
