This is a bit of a shot in the dark but is there anyone here using the latest incarnation of the Mac Pro to run FSX (that's Microsoft Flight Simulator X - only the best darned flight sim around).

I am seriously looking to upgrade my iMac to a Mac Pro with 3 vid cards for three monitors and having trouble finding anyone using such a configuration. To do this I am selling off my PC with a GeForce 8800 etc etc and consolidating the two machines into one.

If this is not the correct forum for such a question please do point me in the right direction.

Thanks so much !

You can do it, but you'll need single slot (slow) video cards to fit 3 in. I'd go with 2 faster cards like the GTX285 and run both side monitors off the same card.
