    I must confess that i am shocked that it runs that well on a netbook. I know the requirements for Phoenix are quite low when compared to a modern system but I didnt expect them to be that low.

    Also could you also check what level you have the physics quality set to.
    The Physics quality is High and sim speed 100%.

    For a bit of sim practice in a hotel bedroom it's good enough

    For serious playing I have my quad system which is a bit of a beast:
    • Thermaltake Kandalf case with OCZ GamerXtreme 1010w PSU
    • ASUS Striker SLI Extreme motherboard
    • Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad QX6850 CPU with Asus Silent Square CPU cooler
    • 4 x OCZ 1GB PC2-8500 1066MHz DDR2 RAM
    • 2 x XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3 1.8Ghz
    • 1 x BFG Ageia PhysX Accelerator PPU
    • 1 x 60Gb Ramdisk main partition
    • 3 x Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA II for on board storage
    • 1 x 8Tb Networked HD server in running Raid 5 for secure storage
    • OS is dual boot - Vista Ultimate 64bit or XP Pro

    built it originally in 2007 but it does need to be updated a bit
