August 20, 201114 yr It is the General Forum so I guess you would kick them out if they were in the NGX forum. I got most of my advice from here and found everyone very helpful.

August 20, 201114 yr My very tentative suggestions, based on my own experience with a high powered rig to run FSX. I would do as Noah suggests: install a second disc, definitely a VRaptor 10000rpm for FSX alone. They are cheaper and larger in volume than the SSDs and work really well. Put the OS and everything else on the 1TB. A long while ago when I first really upgraded I installed a 1000watt power supply. It might be overkill but I have never had a power related problem - and the difference in price is small. KInd regards, Ian McPhail
August 20, 201114 yr As per David Roche's thread up above, all hardware related posts should go into the relevant hardware forums.

August 20, 201114 yr I should apologise. I bought it some time ago and I think it was pricey for the time. So I guess its up to the individual as to how much they can afford. All I can say that it has never given me a problem of any sort. KInd regards, Ian McPhail
August 20, 201114 yr Yes, your alright. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
