Ok I might be getting a new iMac and if I did, I would be using Bootcamp and Windows 7 to run Flight Simulator X.

I know the specs I picked out for FSX are great, but I need to know if I can actually run FSX on my Mac using Bootcamp and Windows 7.

If you need any more info, please ask

When you run Windows 7 via Boot Camp, you run Windows 7 as it would run on a PC.

Yes, you can run FSX on an iMac using Win 7 from Boot Camp. Order the best graphics option you can afford when you buy the iMac. FSX needs speedy graphics with lots of memory - same requirements as if you were purchasing a PC. Great Flight Simulator, I like it better than X - Plane.

Regards.

Good choice. You can run FSX or just about any game on that machine. Just make sure you have enough room on your desk for the 27" display! :)

First you have to have installed Windows 7 via BootCamp Julian and do not pinch another's thread..

And potatoes increasing the memory will help no end. 12GB in my new iMac made a huge difference and it is a simple operation set out in then user guide.
