FS9 and FS 2004 are exactly the same thing..!

It just says "FS 2004" on the Box, when you buy it!

Give it a try...you wont regret it... Wink

You can always adjust the settings to suit your Computer!

If FS2004 works fine with any lowly computer then l must be fine. I shouldn't really worry about the game lagging

..just adjust all the settings in the drop-down Menus, until you get it to run to your satisfaction... Wink

Which is what most of us do!... Wink

YES your computer will run FS9 / 2004 just fine.

here are my specs (and yours are better than mine)

Dell Inspiron 2200 Laptop
WINXP Home (sp3)
Intel Celeron M -- Processor x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8 GenuineIntel ~1396 Mhz
Total Physical Memory 1,280.00 MB [1gig]
Video: Name Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
Sound: SigmaTel C-Major Audio
FS2004 / FSX Deluxe

I can run FSX Deluxe (sp1 ONLY! ~ do not even attempt to sell me on sp2 it will NOT install on my computer!!!) only on bare nothing minimums... but I can fly it.

FS9, NO Scenery addons (Real Environment Pro / Ultimate Night Environment) ... I can pull a steady 30fps looking straight up into the sky [clear weather].. and a still respectful 15fps with major storms at night with REP / UNE installed. ... so there is your comparisson.

They can not, are not, and will not be held liable for any thoughts, or expressions, or posts that I have made, or will make in the future.

Computer Specs:: Acer Aspire Laptop..Win7 Home Premium 64-bit (sp1), AMD Athlon II X2 P340 (Dual Core) [2.2 Ghz], ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 (256mb), 4GB DDR3......FS9.1(sp3) / FSX (sp2)..... Ultimate Terrain X, Ground Environment X, REX, FTX ORBX PNW-PFJ-NRM-CRM, OZx, Tongass Fjords, Misty Moorings
