Hi Guys,I am in the process of building a high end machine and I need advice. The machine will have dual SLI 7800 GTX cards and Athlon FX 55 CPU. It will have 2GIG dual channel memory and 4 SATA Raptor western digital drives. The motherboard is capable of RAID 0 and 1 with 3Gigabit transfer rate. Here are the questions1. I was thinking of either doing two RAID 0's and have one with the operating system and the other with MSFS OR operating system on one 74 GB hard drive no RAID and three drives for RAID 0. Which solution is better?2. Anyone configured MSFS with multiple monitors? How did it go? And I need some articles on how to accomplish that.ThanksBobby

Before you jump into getting dual 7800GTX cards you may want to look at the following thread:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=11381&page=

I already went thru it. I am not having any issues with my GTX 7800. Its a card made by eVGA and I installed the drivers from their site. The only difference from the rest is that I am using Windows 2003 server as the operating system. Seems more stable than XP. I just did a clean install and then copied my Microsoft Games folder to the new PC. Removed the old fs9.cfg and everything is working ok. I saw the pictures that were posted in the forum and I do have a problem with aircraft not showing up in the selection window but there but once the sim starts there are no torn textures or crashes. I have played pretty much all day today.Anyone intersted in answering my other questions?Thanks,Bobby
