  1. I can't see your cart.Normally it is a good idea to keep the fan speed high on graphics cards to keep them cool.
  2. There are very few differences, the Gigabyte is less expensive and has a few less unessential options.
  3. It seems pretty good, I would avoid the ASUS products though. I had the same motherboard at one point and it fried my i7.I recommend a Gigabyte motherboard instead.
  4. Avoid ASUS products and Patriot Memory. I had an R2E that fried my i7, and Patriot Memory labels products at higher speeds than they are designed for.Recommended brands are Western Digital for the hard drive, OCZ for the RAM, and Gigabyte for the motherboard. For your power supply, recommended brands are Thermaltake and Silverstone.The i7 940 is a bit cheaper but I think it can be overclocked to the speed of the 965.I own a Radeon 4870x2 but I have seen threads about problems with loading 3D clouds with it so maybe the NVidia card is the way to go.I think that it is best to get a computer case with good circulation, like the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case. I have no experience with water cooling but many with high-end hardware choose that over air cooling.Here is a good processor overclocking tutorial. However I don't overclock, I run everything at stock or at the factory overclock. I just feel that I am playing it safe that way.
  5. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you get well soon.
  6. Which specific paints are you having trouble with, or are you having trouble with all of the paints?

    Norton ghost

    Norton Ghost is software that is used to create and to write a complete image onto a computer. It can write an image from a flash drive, CD, and possibly over a network too. It is useful if you have a setup where you have multiple computers that need to have the exact same version of Windows, same applications, same drivers, same accounts, same settings, same registry entries, etc, the image can include everything.It is also useful for backing up things in the unlikely event you have a hard drive failure. Since you would have a full image, you could just replace the hard drive, upload the image and you would not lose a thing as everything would be there.So it is definitely a useful thing to have.
  8. This is an unusual situation, one that I have never had to deal with before.I think you should send another email, and make sure you have the return-receipt option selected. This way you would know if they are reading your messages.
  9. Magnificent work! It is a definite improvement.Is it going to be freeware or payware?
  10. Is this your website? http://www.fsrunway.it/I think that you should contact the developers of the addons your purchased. They may help you out.How many times did you create a trouble ticket with no response?
  11. The default FS2004 gauges do work in FSX, but most addon gauges made for FS2004 panels would not.With the 777_300.gau, you also have to copy FS2004's msvcr70.dll to make it work.
  12. Negative. It was a Rampage II Extreme.The i7 itself was fried, and Intel replaced it under warranty. Also a cooling fan was fried as well, and Newegg replaced it.My RAM was intact.The problem was a known design flaw that existed with the original Rampage Extreme, from someone who helped me troubleshoot.
  13. No, It wouldn't. The specs are very limited.What is your budget for your new laptop?
  14. +1Your statement summarizes everything I would want to say.
  15. I think that this would make a good base for a new FS platform.FlightGear, the open-source flight simulator.
  16. You would definitely have great improvement with that.However you would need Triple Channel DDR3 instead of Dual Channel DDR3, which sell in sets of 3GB or 6GB.
  17. Some people may trust one site and not the other. I honestly don't know why I created two.(I wish it was as easy to get members to join my website as it is to get signatures on my petitions, lol.)
  18. While on the subject I am collecting signatures for my petitions:http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/flightsimulatorhttp://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flightsimulatorI hope I can get as many signatures as this group has members.
  19. I had a Rampage II Extreme and it kept short circuiting upon cold boot. I don't overclock.
  20. I have created a petition on a couple websites.Click below to sign them:http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/flightsimulatorhttp://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flightsimulator
  21. This thread is old but I will add mine:Boeing 757-200 - Delta, Song, ContinentalAirbus A320-232 - JetBlue AirwaysCessna 172Cessna 152
