TechguyMaxC,Your statement sure enough says a lot more about you than about Nick. A preconceived opinion. No knowledge. Only vapour. :(

Yes, well said.Just a bunch of hot air from a so-called "Tech Guy" :( Not much more than that. -jk

Thank you again and again. I have found a tech to just put it at default setting, install the 3Ware Raid card, and get it to pass the OCCT test. If all is successful with just getting it to default, I will follow your instructions on getting FSX and addons installed, tweaking FSX per instructions from you on the Simvation Forums website. Thank you for so much for your time. I wil post my results on my settings. I so appreciate the time you have taken from your busy schedule.Thanks,Lynn
