I am excited, to say the least. I just built a new system to replace my old Athalon XP 1800+ system. I am now flying around in an P4 2.6 800FSB with hyperthreading running on an Intel P865PERL board with 1GB PC3200 matched RAM, and Radeon 9700 Pro. I also changed to SATA HD. All I can say is WOW... my frame rates went from 15-18 to 35-40! This is with ActiveSky WxRE, and Ultimate Traffic loaded. The only thing I now need is USB rudder, as there is no game port on this MB. Now if ATi/OMEGA would just release the new drivers with the fix I would be really happy.Forgive me for wasting the web-board space, but I just had to tell someone that would understand.

I built a new system back in June so I know how you feel. It's great when you fire it up and everything works, You are aware that you can get a gameport to USB converter. Might be less expensive than a new set of rudder pedals.Richard

Hi Kevin (and Richard),>You are aware that you can get a gameport to USB converter. Might be less expensive than a new set of rudder pedals.:).Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg
