What about equipment for multi monitors?
List what equipment you believe is the best for this. Saying buy a high end machine means squat to alot of folks. More money for something does not always mean better equipment.
I run FSX on a laptop and it does an ok job at it. I have most things set to max in the config setup. But then somethings turned down about mid way.
AMD quad core A6-3420M with turbo CORE 2.40 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6520G with 512MB graphics system memory
4GB DDR3
acer Nplify 802 11b/g/n
750 GB HDD

I didn't think the OP was looking for the best or a multi-monitor setup.
I thought he was looking for the bare minimum specs
Well I can't say what the "best" is but here's what I'm running.
