Isn't this 4.905ghz?

I currently have an E6600 dual core overclocked from 2.4ghz to 3.44 ghz using a ASUS P5B-E MB. I am considering upgrading to a Q9650 with a possible flash of the BIOS that will probably be required. I run FSX, FS RealTime and a PIREP reporting program on this system and run X-Graphics, ASA and SB4 networked on an older AMD 3700 system. Here is the rest of the system I'm upgrading:XP / Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz OC'd to 3.44GHZ / Zalman 9700LED / BFG GeForce 8800GTX 768MB / ASUS P5B-E P965 / 3 GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz / 2 x WD Raptors SATA 74GB 10,000 RPM / Antec 1200 / Gateway 24in / Antec TRIO 650W / FSX Deluxe SP1 + Acceleration It looks like I should be able to OC the Q9650 to 4.905ghz ish????What I'm hoping to do with the $400.00 is to gain a noticeable increase of FPS, the ability to up my sliders, smoothness running all the apps and scenery.Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.Thanks,KenP.S. I know the evil of good is better, and hopefully I won't run into many snags.

Sam I appreciate your efforts.Thanks for looking.Ken

My "AppDataPath" path was incorrect. I corrected it in "regedit" and no longer have the "Exception received:14" error messages.Thanks Dave!Ken S

I meant to say, I still have the exception received 14 error after re-doing (ensuring) the correct path.Ken S

>Hi Ken,>>Is this the path to that file?:>Z:wxstationlist.bin>>Is FSX also installed on your client machine?>>Thanks,>Jim>>http://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpg>http://www.hifisim.com/Morning Jim,Yes, the path is Z:Microsoft Flight Simulator X on 'Ken Stojak' in the Weather folder.I do not have FSX installed on the FSX client machine, but I do have FS9 installed there (if it matters?) Also note, I have FS9 & ASv 6.5 installed on the FSX machine.Thanks,Ken S

>Hi,>>From the client machine see if you can browse to the>wxstationlist.bin file located on the FSX machine.>>Please let us know.>>Thanks,>Jim>>http://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpg>http://www.hifisim.com/Jim, I was able to access the "wxstationlist.bin" file on the FSX machine from the client machine. I was able to open it up in notepad.Thanks,Ken

I too am experiencing the ":Exception received : 14" error. I have a networked configuration, ensuring that folders on my FSX pc have been set up to share and allow networked users to change my files.I test the configuration and successfully pass when running the AI Traffic.exe program. I do in fact have the weather load up in FSX, I just receive the ": Exception received: 14" error.This is how/when it occurs:I start X-graphics (build 298) on the client computer and install theme.I then start ActiveSkyX (build 1160) also on the client computer and select X Graphics textures. I start up FSX, chose AC, airport and press fly now - then I receive the ": Exception received: 14" error. Keep in mind the weather does in fact load up. On the FSX pc with the flight loaded up I get a "ASX initial weather depiction complete" message.Here is some of my ASX log:08:36:10: Logging Initialized08:36:10: XEngine v1.0.0.332 Copyright

Dan, I removed the 0713 and went back to 0710 as I didn't have time before my flight this a.m. to tweak. I also noticed that in FS9, FMCWP had SIDSTARS in it. I removed them, than ran 0710. I wonder if I would have just removed the SIDSTATS from FMCWP and it would have worked?? Anyhow it works with 0710, I have arrival STARS and APPROACHES in the ARRIVAL page.Thanks,Ken

I too copied 0713 REV3 data from where it was installed in FS9 FMCWP to the PMDG folder. Now enroute to KORD, when pressing the DEP/ARR key on the FMC, STARS appear as NONE and APPROACHES appear as NONE. I am unable to select an approach or runway??? I did not have a problem flying into EGPK.Any ideas?Ken

It's probably this one:http://737yoke.betainnovations.com/Regards,Ken

>Not positive Ken, as I don't use FS9 anymore.

I'll set aside some time next week and try it out.Ken

>Are you running XP w/32 bit?>>>If so, look below, or do a search for quality info on this>subject (search recent posts for '4GB').

Ram is so cheap lately, I couldn't resist purchasing another 2GB of ram. Is it possible to set up FS9 & FSX so they can be both run optimally with 4GB's of ram? If so, could someone be so kind and reply.Thanks,Ken

>Beeing an Nvidia newbie...exactly what is and where do I find>this nHANCER ;) ?>>And yes...sure is a LevelD a/c in the pics :)You can find it here: http://www.nhancer.com/Great program, helped me in FS9 running Squawkbox 3 & FSX with my 8800GTX and the newest beta drivers.Enjoy,Ken

OOPS, sorry about that.Ken

>Ken,>>Do you have XP installed currently or Vista. It's much harder>to do if you have Vista first...Ryan, I have Windows XP SP2 installed.Thanks,Ken

If its in the readme, PMDG OPS or the>last few pages of posts, I'm sorry, I can't find it :(.>>Best->Carl F. Avari-Cooper BAW0225>http://online.vatsimindicators.net/980091/523.pngCarl, It's in the PMDG>Performance Tuning Window, below the "Virtual Cockpit" display rate tuning selector. You have the option to select - "Enable First Officer Displays" or not. "Some users have reported that disabling the FO displays improves the FPS of the overall simulation." See page 30 of 44 in the "Titles and Menu" PDF included in the 747400 Operating Manual. I have not disabled it myself to give you advice, but I'm confident it will work for you.Good luck,Ken

Someone willing to post in the PMDG Ops area a "How to" on setting up a "Dual Boot" in Windows XP or steer me and others in the right direction where we could find one to do so. Thanks,Ken
