Alienware X51 was my first gaming PC I have ever owned and I did not understand anything about building PCs. Anyway, running FSX is a bit of an issue considering I have the I7 3770 not overclocked and GTX 660. I have read people managing to upgrade the X51 with GTX 670s and one case a GTX 700 series I think. So what I want to know: Can I replace the I7 3770 with I7 3770K and add a coolant, and also upgrade the graphics card to GTX 670 or GTX 700 series or even higher seroe which would all fight. And what supplies would I need with your recommend upgrades, OR build my own PC (Only if the upgrade options aren't available/or they will not make much difference. Thanks -
PLease excuse me if this has been discussed before: I was just reading about the differences between the SLC and the MLC versions of the SSD drives and was just curious if anyone is running FSX on the much faster SLC drive?. I read that the the SLC uses a single cell to store data and in which case is able to access data much faster. The MLC uses multi level cells and looks at all the cells in order to access information, making it a bit slower than SLC's. Comparative differences are SLC are 10x faster; 3x faster sequential write and 30% more expensive than MLC. Either way, Im curious to know of any improved performances in FSX with this drive type or with any other high intensive software applications. I am currently running FSX on a dedicated more traditional MLC drive and have noticed improved performances over the standard HDD. Would love to get some info on the SLC drive type...Thanks in advance Troy
