    Hi Dan,

    You will be disappointed. FSX is a cpu demand program. The E8500 is not capable to run FSX especially with 3 views.

    The memory speed on a 1333 fsb isn't helping either.

    Probably one wide view spread over three monitors/projectors - which isn't the same thing at all, and considerably less demanding than 3 separate views. Not that you might not be correct about the disappointment though
