wow I took your word for it and did a bunch of research on my own, but this board is amazing.

Have you used the OverClock feature this comes with? I guess you do not even have to reboot and it is a "live OC" function in windows.

I am finally ordering the i7 940! It has been a busy year but I have found the time to finish my project up.

Any updates on a good graphics card/hardrive? Those are the last two things i have to order up.

Thanks NickN!

Wow... I haven't seen this thread in a while

The system is running very nicely. The TRUE cooler allowed me to clock it up to 3.8ghz stable with temps at 66c MAX during an OCCT stress test. The video card I'm using is the original GTX 260 and that's clocked VERY nicely. I can't be happier with this system

I'm on the i7 920, so your 940 should clock up to 4ghz easily

Thanks guys! I see the GTX285 OC editon, SOunds like that is a good bet. I have a seperate HD for the OS; however, the velociraptor sounds like the way to go for the sim only.

Definitely the VRaptor is the way to go for the sim. I recommend the 300gb one; much more room for more addons. You'd be surprise how quickly they can all add up Wink

SOLD! Thanks guys!

first add-ons: Good weather package, i am open to recommendations. Being a real world pilot, i hate standard weather in this game.

Second: the 757!   Grin

Nick, have you updated any of those tutorials on setting up the computer system? I am obviously installing windows from scratch so if there is a new tutorial I would love to check it out.

just follow the first 4-5 posts in the FSX forum for setting up. They have all the links and instructions

you do not need to mess with marking the OS for >2GB but make sure you use Vista64 and not 32 for this system

perfect, thanks. I will triple check I use the 64 version.

I really appreciate all of your efforts in helping me figure this out the right way! I love your signature quote!
