Hello,I would like to update my computer so that it can run FSX. Can I just change my Motherboard, CPU and memory and keep the rest of my hardware?I have included my configuration and my update selections.Thanks in advance,Ron SagelPRESENT SYSTEM<<< System Summary >>> > Mainboard : Asus A8N-SLI DELUXE > Chipset : nVidia nForce4 > Processor : AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2200 MHz > Physical Memory : 2048 MB (4 x 512 DDR-SDRAM ) > Video Card : Nvidia Corp GeForce 6800 Series GPU [bR02.1] > Hard Disk : WDC (74 GB) > Hard Disk : WDC (74 GB) > DVD-Rom Drive : HK4262U AWO228D SCSI CdRom Device > DVD-Rom Drive : SCSIVAX DVD/CD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device > Monitor Type : ViewSonic VX2235wm - 22 inches > Network Card : Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd) Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) > Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2 > DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2008)WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE TO:Mainboard : Asus P5N-E SLI> Chipset : nVidia nForce 650i SLI SPP> Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2400 MHz> Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )

I just did a similar upgrade, from an A8N-SLI Deluxe. It looks like you should be able to transfer the rest of your hardware over.I ended up with a Q6600 (really great prices now), a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 motherboard, and 2x2GB DDR2-800 Mushkin RAM. I also replaced my older PATA drives with Seagate SATA II drives, but that was because I had a drive failure.

Get the Q 6600..That is the *GO* version......Here are my specs....Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (1066MHz FSB) (8MB Cache) overclocked 3.38
