To be honest none of them are particularly good for gaming. If I had to choose one of them then the third one with the 7950GT graphics is the best choice as the other seem to have rather low spec GPU's. However the 7950GT has long since been out of production, replaced by the 8**** and 9*** series GPUS and more recently 260/275/285/295 series

Dont beleive the clock speeds either as a dual core cpu doesnt given you double the clock speed - it does help productivity and FS2004 / FSX both make good use of a multi core cpu.

I would save my money and build your own pc....

I had to change a few components in mine for that, Ram, graphic card and processor. Now it runs very smooth with lots of add-ons and AI aircraft. For aproximately 220eurs I got a decent update rig.

Before I had ...
AMD Athlon II x2 250 processor
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD6450 DDR3 1Gb
Kingston 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz Ram

Now I have ...
AMD Phenom II x4 965 processor
Gigabyte M68MT-D3 motherboard (Bios updated)
MSI Ati Radeon HD7770 DDR5 1Gb
Kingston HyperX 8Gb DDR3
