Well.. I thought I'll build a PC myself and overclock it. This was after reading this article was posted here a few days ago.http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=570&p=1I know this motherboard is not SLI complient but for FSX it makes no difference. Would there be any problem with this config?MannyAll items are from Newegg. $2,437 Newegg Item # $ 1 Mother Board ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail N82E16813131025 1 270 $270 2 CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail N82E16819115002 1 559 $559 $- 3 Case GIGABYTE 3D AURORA GZ-FSCA1-ANS Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail N82E16811233001 1 160 $160 $- 4 Heatsink ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Blue LED Light Cooling Fan with Heatsink - Retail N82E16835118223 1 70 $70 $- 5 PU Thermaltake toughpower W0117RU ATX12V/ EPS12V 750W Power Supply - Retail N82E16817153036 1 200 $200 $- 6 DVD NEC Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner - OEM N82E16827152058 1 35 $35 $- 7 Sund Sound Old Card 1 0 $- $- 8 Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM N82E16822136012 2 200 $400 $- 9 Memory 2MB CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model TWIN2X2048-8500C5 - Retail N82E16820145033 1 403 $403 $- 10 Video ASUS EN7600GS SILENT/HTD/512M Geforce 7600GS 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail N82E16814121007 1 140 $140

Balderdash, I wish I didn't live in California - newegg, zipzoomfly and mwave prices are so sweet without stinkin' state tax. :-eek Anyhoo, the E6700 is a greate choice, but quite pricely if you have an overclocking flair.At the very least, consider and E6600 at nearly 2/3 the price, or an E6400 for roughly half, both of which overclock nearly as far as the E6700 does (see http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1075792), the latter of which does so with much cheaper motherboards.Gary

Thanks Gary.I have never built a PC before and neither have overclocked. But reading that article I borrowed and posted in my previous posts has me salivating.Now, I am reading your link and you are right.. the Dua 6400 can be overclocked almost to 3.6Mhz. using a cheaper MB and cheaper memory. In which case if I mess it up... It won't set me back as bad as a Duo 6700.Hmmm.... This FSX thingi is driving me to pursue this. :(Manny
