There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Tom,
Your CPU looks fine on both of those. The only question is the GPU. Scenery is now cached in the CPU VRam. If you have 512, it might run out of memory with ORBX scenery, and quick. You simply will run out of memory with ORBX, but if you lighten the load (low settings) you will extend the time and possibly not have memory crashes. But, if you have a GPU with say 1 Gig of VRam, you should be good to go.
This is on 'V2'. You are fine with V1, 1.4, but man, I would try for V2.
I have V2 on my laptop, ultra thin Vizio and it runs it fine. I haven't tried spiking the settings on it though, stock installation.

Until about 5 minutes ago, I wasn't familiar with ORBX, but now I can say that I probably won't have much, if any of their stuff - unless it's from their freeware page. How is the stock mesh? Do I need to start looking for freeware, or can I do a decent Grand Canyon run with the stock files?
GC isn't that nice, but I think its nicer then FS9. You can download a photoreal GC and its freeware. I don't remember who made it. Reminds me, I need to download that.
Personally for stock scenery, I like it. I just flew over it and took some shots. You can max out the scenery 'mesh' and that will give you some wild terrain.
If you fly the F22, don't look out the sides from in the VC will an update is released. Crashes due to illuminated textures overlapping.

Ian - the product ID won't do anyone any good. It's the Key that would allow piracy, and there's two ways to get that. The first is to flip over the laptop and read the label, and the other is to use a key-finder app. Belarc Advisor is good for that.
