Yes. Just don't get the home version. From Premium up is what you want and the 64 bit version. Get the OEM disk.

I was old school a long time, I used W2K when XP was long out, I used XP until last spring.

Then I built my current machine with 7 64pro. Great OS (here in the company we have 2008R2 sinde last year so I was already used to the new GUI).

Plus, due to the 64-bit OS and 8 GB RAM, the *"§$%&# OOM-bug in FSX is finally history.

Can`t compare gaming performance since I changed the hardware at the same time.

What's wrong with the 'Home' version, Speedy? I'm not having any problems with it...
