<div>The result.. with FS9 it no longer lets me undock windows making the system useless with my simulator. The main view only works properly in fullscreen mode. Put it in a window mode and you can hear it flying but the visuals are frozen. I do average 40 FPS with the slider all the way up on all the options flying around KLAX.. It looks outstanding but I need to undock extra views. FSX still gets horrible frame rates. very disappointing. this system should be smoking! </div>

<div>when I installed all the patches for X it said my video card was not a new enough model and couldnt handle the shaders. X then closes. </div>
