FSX or FS2004

I have FSX, although I am having problems running it on Vista, but I
have seen alot of contradictions between the two: some saying FS2004 is
better, some saying FSX is better. I like FSX, but am curious as to
what the consensus on here is. FSX or FS2004?

FSX Will need a good graphics card and a lot of memory. FS 2004 can run
on ultra high without any problems. I suggest not using fsx unless you
have a decent graphics card and atleast 4GB DDR3 RAM.

I used to play FSX with nvidia 8600M GS and 4 gb ram on my
laptop....and i used to play at directx10 perfectly...

This is what the new system I got has:

-Intel Pentium dual-core E5200 (2.5GHz, 2MB)
-4GB DDR2 SDRAM 800MHZ- 4X1GB,DIM,M
-ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB supporting HDMI
-500GB Serial ATA II Hard Drive(7200RPM)
-Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1

Based on that, I should be able to run FSX without any problems. Even
the MSFS help desk guys told me that. I would have preferred XP over
Vista, but I had no choice.

There you go it's your graphics card which is not good, try putting in
512MB ATI Radeon 4850. Yes, fs 2004 is compatible with vista, i have
both versions of of flight sim, works perfect without any trouble. Also
your cpu is not that great try getting a quad core or intel core 2 duo
(which one i don't know) get the clock speed like 2.6GHZ or higher.
There is nothing wrong with your ram,hard drive, operating system.

So, if I upgraded it with an Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9400 (6MB L2
2.66 GHz 1333 FSB), and an XFX-ATI Radeon HD4650 1 GB DDR2 PCI Express
Graphics Card, I should be good to go?
