I still can't get a great frame rate using a 2.16 Core Duo.
U set the weather, clouds etc at their highest levels?
Yip... I should actually try it again on my new pc, see how it runs on multiple monitors (if that's possible)...

darwinia: original and all, but overrated
You probably have been to most of these sites, but this is where I got of most my addons from.
Aircraft I liked were the
Cheetah
Impala
Mirage 2000, F1 and III http://www.mirage4fs.com/
Yak 52
Mig 29
ERJ 135 (SAA fly them)
Lots of SA Scenery to download, grids and airfields.
(Some addons hog resources as you'll see)
Also Misty Fjords, if u can get, it is brilliant.

http://www.surclaro.com/ (Best site)
http://www.scenery.org/

I have around 0.5 to 1GB of updates and addons for mine, some of them didn't work too well (missing graphics, etc). Will take a look at these though.

When I had all the SA airports, the SA maps (esp the CT one with a nice Table Mountain)
I enjoyed taking off from Ysterplaat with a Cheetah or Impala, flying around the peninsula and doing a coastwise flight to George or Plet.
Just add lots of AI traffic, Boeings, clouds etc.

Wow. Some of my favourite games have been mentioned so far: KOTOR, Orange Box, Bioshock, Mass Effect... They were all great games.
Worst buys I've had so far:
Ultima IX. - It was impossible to finish due to bugs. So disappointing.
Serious Sam 2 - It lost the charm of the first one.
The Tainted - I so wanted to like this. South African developer, action rpg, unfortunately it sucked so bad.

Can't believe so many of you fell for Spore. You all should be ashamed of yourselves
I fell for it. Solidly. Sold it about 3 weeks later. +1 on these, luckily I followed my instincts and tested these out before even thinking of buying them:
Someone also mentioned that Streets of LA - Worst port ever.
Another game where I got saved by testing it out first, was the epic failure that was SimCity Societies
Hey, there are nothing wrong with these games!! :
All the games made by introversion rocks. In my opinion in any case, can play their games for hours on end without becoming bored. Just a shame one cannot buy all of them locally in retail stores. I owe them quite a lot of buys still.
Then someone mentioned The Orange box? Excuse me, but WTH? That was the best R150 (on special at Pick 'n Pay) I spent in my life. Ever.
GTA IV falls in at #2 as my best buy ever. Runs smooooothly on my PC.

+5 on orange box! getting 5 of the best fps's for the price of 1
I would have bought any of those games separately.
Yea, I was thinking about grabbing more copies at that price for friends, but did not have enough cash with me. Portal alone was worth that R150 for me - given how short it is. Best dark humour I have ever seen in a game.
But I guess not everyone likes the type(s) of games everyone else likes.
