Hi David,the RAm seems to be a mismatch, PC3200 would be a more synchronised match for the 800MHz FSB of your CPU. Also, I'm not too sure about the motherboard, but it seems to be a good mid-range option.But more importantly: What graphics card are you planning to get?Cheers,Gosta. http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

I am just planning on keeping the one I got for nowG force 4 Ti 4200128 MBso far I haven't had any troubles with it.FS9 runs perfectly, well except that it is a little slow...might be cause I have a P 3 450 hrz with only 256 mb ram.....

Very nice setup, but you need to get PC3200 RAM instead...btw, nice catch on the dual channel, it really makes a difference.Mikkel

thanks for the heads up on the ram.I will get that instead.P.S Is it just me or are yall having trouble with AVSIM timing out also?

Yes, the forum is very slow unfortunately :(
