Dude the Core Duo 2's overclock like crazy OC your CPU a bit (it will be stable and wont harm it) and OC maybe the video card slightly and I bet you will get 30+ even on takeoff and in the most demanding city areas with max settings for everything.
anyone know how to change the profile to allow you to use the top hat on the fighterstick to have free cockpit view. I dont have TrackIR and I cant figure out how to turn this mode on when I am useing the CH joystick profiles.
