Ok, I'll head over and grab that Util. Thanks for your help :-beerchug

Specs as per sig below, Monitor is a Dell 22" Flatscreen running at 1680 x 1050 32Bit 60Hz

Hi there Shorthaul,I have just bought a HD4870, have not had the crashes you have been experiencing but I cannot seem to get VSYNC to work, always constant "tearing" of the screen and that is with the framelock set at 25fps.Does VSYNC work ok with you?

Hi John, I had previously setup my two existing 320GB Hard Drives on a RAID0 configuration but to be honest never noticed any real difference performance wise.I might just bite the bullet here and get a 1TB drive on 2 partitions for o/s and backup + a separate WD Velociraptor for FSX if my budget stretches that far :-)!

Thanks for your input guys! As per my sig I have 3 hard drives installed at present and couple that with the gfx card the case tends to generate a serious amount of heat.This is why I would prefer to just cut down to one large hard disk to ease the temperature and also maybe put in a new ATI HD4870 (or the X2 version upon release).As to partitioning I would prefer 3 seperate, one for o/s which is Vista Home Premium X64, other for flightsim and third for downloads, swap file, etc.

Hello, Just about to buy a Samsung Spintpoint F1 1Tb Hard disk, it has 3 platters of 334Gb approx each. My question is as this will be the only hard disk in my computer would it be wise to partition it or leave as one whole drive?If partition is recommended what would be the ideal split? I thought about 3 partitions of 334Gb, makes logical sense doesn't it?I welcome your expert opinions :-beerchug

IIRC you need to enable the check box for AA within the sim if using DX10 preview mode.HTHBill

>Yes, I agree. Dare I say it was too fast?? The best sound>sample of all was the Cessna (3rd sample) WAV. Very good>speed and easy to understand.That sounds like a Scottish accent, possibly North-East Aberdeen area.........Hey Wait, it's my voice !!!!!! ;)

Hello again John,Nice shots and even better frames :)What Corsair Memory are you using? I have the PC6400 2x 1GB CL4 or rather I did have until one of the DIMM's died on me, currently back at Dabs on an RMA awaiting warranty replacement :(I'll try your settings when I get the new machine back up and running!

Cheers for that John, will be interested to hear your results.

Hi John,Are you getting 3GHZ on that E6600 CPU with stock cooling?I have mine currently at 2.8GHZ, I'm scared to push it much further !!!

Me thinks of two words here.....April and Fool :-lol
