I think that the video card will be great.....but I know that when I just got the sim.....I loaded it...and you go through the pre-loading stuff....and then it makes an icon on your desktop, and then you click on it and it finally copys everything (whatever that does) and it shows the process.....and I know that I had to take off my Flight Simulator 2003 (the full-version) to have enough room.......the progress thingamajigge went up to over 500 mb...I don't know what that would be for.....
