[Hardware poll]

Aerosoft's Beaver helped my slightly under-performing Dual Core CPU, but adding a few ORBX scenery products drove my frame rates consistently down into single figures. I had virtually given up on flying until I finally decided to splash out and build a new system ... and what a difference a few hot components make! Now I'm back to flying regularly and hoping Aerosoft will continue to produce class-leading general aviation aeroplanes.
