Before i load W7 and then load FSX im wanting to know if how to do it correctly. ive looked at the NICKN's tune up site and im a little confused.my system :2600k CPUgigabyte MB8 gigs of memory.1TB and 360HD800 watts PSh60 water cooled.what would be the best way to load FSX , i see that many are using two operating systems xp64 and W764 at least from nickn site .But before i follow his advice im wanting to use one OS W7, should i put FSX on one drive (1 TB ) and put the operating system on the smaller 360 HD.does that sound like a good idea.im gearing this computer for FSX only.So before i follw NICK:S advice am i going the right direction.Thanks..............Robert

Robert,There is nothing special to do. W7 x64 is the way to go for FSX. Follow Nick's guide on tuning FSX however I do not recommend that you use Nick's OS guide fopr W7. There is no reason to disable any aspect of W7 to run FSX.And yes, it appears your headed in the right direction (putting FSX on its own dedicated drive).Regards,Bob

Thanks for the reply and yes i decided to load W7 and go through the nicks set up.i have tried his steps before with no luck, bu ti decided to revamp my computer and try it again and i went by the book.did not miss any steps and i must tell you , i have never seen FSX so smooth the hold time i have owned it.i loaded FSX on its own drive (1TB) and everything else on another drive and super wow.im running a five monitor set up with triplhead2go (3 19 inch ) 1 24 inch and 1 17 inch touch screen ), and im running a second computer for software.i use level d , radar contact , asx, and a mile of other crap , and my head room for frame rates is unreal .with all that going on im still getting 45 to 60 FPS , no joke.and your right W7 64 rocks.im still stunned , thanks for your advice and nicks and byjote.Thanks.............Robert
