On Thoughts on New Computer and FSX.

Right now my only bottle neck is the monitor resolution but other wise in areas that count as the middle of nowhere ... no major city I can let those sliders sit on almost max everything. I got water textures up to full but drop those down to around mid 1x when in a major area ... NYC/London etc, same with Autogen going down to dense from extremely dense or max with Nick N's tweaks..Traffic is at 60/60; Airport Vehicles Medium or on occassion I bring it just a lil more, Boats on both to 100/100. Currently flying LevelD over the middle of nowhere in VC with frames in the 50's. Believe it or not I do run with HT enabled and things run smoothly....though I dunno about the 300000 in my buffer pool...Weird stuff some occassional spikes and wavery runways at APs. But, I'm happy with the performance of the i7 so far with x. I spent one week with a healthy pool of addons and I haven't looked back since. FS9 now sits on the old IDE drive and I've loaded it up once. I miss a few addons but I've gained a few goodies over the week. CS 130 Pro, my first Orbx title, UTX CA/USA/EU, GEX USA, REX, some fine scenery addons personal favorites being Manhattan X and VFR London (Frames in the 20's) plane pending...couse I need to cut out some stuff .. AI traffic, water, ap shadows, and minor things. These are stats from in windowed mode seeing I fly mainly online.And, I checked my memory timings too seeing it around 1500 and of course won't see 1600 less I push my CPU 4.0 to but I'm happy with things at 3.6.
