I looked today at Best Buy for the i7 17.3in model, turns out it was just the same, with the exception of 8GBs of RAM, and a 750GB HDD instead of 1TB. Plus, it was more expensive. The only Dell i7 laptop model if found was a 14 inch XPS. Which was about 1100 dollars, a lot more than I want to spend. So I think I'll just go with my original choice and see how FSX runs. I eventually want to upgrade the RAM to 8GBs of Corsair Vengeance @ 1600Mhz, but I'm not sure if it would work or not with that computer, do any of you happen to know if it would? Or where I could find out if it would?  :)
