should I buy the pmdg 737 NGX (Read 1052 times)

My quest to collect every modern boring airliner is almost complete, but if you look at my signature the only thing missing is a 737. I've recently got a new laptop with an i7 2670 qm running between 2.2 GHz and 3.1 GHz generally on fsx it sits around 2.8 GHz so I think I will be able to run it, I've got a nvidia graphic card with 2 GB of dedicated ram to and 8 GB system ram. So I at least hope I can run it.
That aside is it worth the money? It's pretty expensive compared to other addons so is it worth the extra cost?

So any advice on whether I could run it and if it's worth it would be greata

Cheers guys

So you want to invest in the best for FSX...
This is the Best for FSX, I've owned it since they came out with it on the 12th of August, there is nothing wrong with it, and everything you can imagine, you can do. The thing with the NGX is that you need to learn everything before you fly it, that means a better FMC than the 747, and being more in detail. It will run fine on your laptop. BUT if you put it in with your 747 IT WILL HALF
your FPS. But yes, everything you hear about it is true. If you want, I can show you pictures and stuff of the NGX before you buy it. If you need anything else, questions, just ask.
Hope it helps

I've bought her now!

And honestly as soon as the VC loaded the first thing that came into my head was....Holy S**T.

It's stunning it looks like nothing I've ever flown in before and I have a fair amount of payware! I did a quick flight and she was plodding along at about 25fps so that's all good.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the NGX as well, and I have the 744, what do you mean by it'll "Half my FPS"?

I've got them both and I've not seen any problems yet both load fine and run at about 25fps. The ngx has blown me away it's simply stunning and a dream to fly. The fmc is incredible and real world as I've semren. I'd like some more info about the 747/737 problem if possible. But I've not seen a problem yet
