Thanks Bert, look at the difference!

Yes I have FLT and FLN as well as the GNS 430 WAAS (which I think I prefer not to have in the panel as it is difficult to work with there). Thank you very much. I also have an i7 as well as a gtx560ti but have not been able to figure out how to make the gauges so crisp as you have done.

Bert, how did you get this so clear and crisp can you send me the default cessna file (seedmuse at gmail dot com) or paste the config here? That is amazing. I have all the software and hardware including nvidia but am new to all of it. Thanks.

600 USTurns out I have a Zalman CNPS9500 installed right now so I think I can use that for my upgrade.Also I have a Zalman 500W PSU, should be fine when I want to upgrade my GPU.Question now is: I'm not a big tweeker/overclocker so why not go for the i7 to future proof it a bit?And, why not go for an Intel motherboard? Is it all to do with price?What does Asus have over Intel? I've always had Intel motherboards.What brand and speed RAM? How much difference does the speed make?Also 920 vs 930, for the price difference is it worth the money?I've never been one to need the absolute top of the line. Just below is fine.Details:ATI x1950 is pci-eand I will need 2 pci slots for other cardsThanks for indulging me on all these questions!

Thanks Bjorn,Let's say 600 and include the RAM in that if possible. (Forgot how RAM is usually linked to motherboard upgrade)

This is what I have:Intel D915GEV MotherboardIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHzMemory 2x1024 533MHz DDR Total: 2046MBHard Drive C:500 D:500 E:500 Total:1500GB 7200RPMATI Radeon X1950 Series 256MBSamsung SyncMaster Monitor, 20.2"Windows XP ProAll I want to do is upgrade my motherboard and processor, fit the new into the existing case and invest in a Zalman silent fan for the new processor setup.What would you recommend? I have not been able to run FSX comfortably though I've tried 3 or 4 times...Thank you,Matthew
