Hello to all. I have this questions.Im sorry if they are on the wrong forum.

A friend gave me this pc Emachines T5224 (2.80 dual core, 1 gb ram, nvidia gforce7950 oc).

But it cames with windows VIsta Home premium. Somebody told me that it will be better with Xp pro (for FS9).

But this thing doesnt have floppy,to  instal the raid driver, so how do i install the sata disk( it as one WD 250 gb). Im new on SATA DISKS (lol).

And it will be better the Xp Os for FS9?

Is it a good machine for FS9 (im thinking on increasing the mem to 2GB), it will hold FS with adds (planes and scenery).

Another question: Dual core 2.80, what is the true speed of the  porcessor?

Please tell me your thoughts, help me

Many Thanks
