After having run a HP AMD 2800 for what is about 4 years, I decided to upgrade. Here are the new specs:
Asus MN2-SLI Delux DX nForce MoBo
AMD dual core 6000+
2 gig DDR2 PC6400 memory
GeForce 8500 GT 512 mb PCI-E (x2 w/ SLI)
320 GB SATA II HD
XION 500 watt power supply
Thermaltake Maxord Gaming CPU fan
with Vista
I may have missed some others, but those are the hard core component...trying to pass some time as I reinstall a bunch of stuff. But so far this rig seems quite, quite nice
We'll see how it really fairs with FS9. Then....the move to FSX (maybe)

That's pretty close to what I'm building, only I'm going to put XP on it and continue running FS9. Maybe we can compare some notes once I get Windows loaded on it this weekend?

Adam You should be able to run FSX pretty stable on that, I only run one 8800 GTS with an E6850 C2D and 4 gigs of PC8500 and i have been able to enjoy a FR of 20 stable.

Rgr that Anthony and Charly, FSZ is in the horizon, I need to get up to speed with the addons (like a 757 ) I will eventually jack the RAM up to 4 gigs, and can always upgrade the vid card in the future. It was like negotiating a peace treaty in the middle east for my wife to allow me to get this LOL!!!!

I hear you Adam! I'm not married but my g/f has been against me getting a wicked system. I kind of "shut her up" when bought her a new Mac Notebook for X-Mas so I'm well on my way

ha! I just went down that path with my wife earlier in the week... glad to see I'm not alone! I'm going through the FS-GS system unification process and in speaking with the consultant it became apparent that my processor was a system bottleneck. Apparently I sweet talked just enough to get her approval on a new Core 2 Duo E6850 processor so now it can run unbridled (hopefully)! But I tell ya, that is one tough battle we FS enthusiasts have to fight with our better halves to get our "toys"! ha!
That really sounds like a sweet system Adam. Those two cards in SLI have got to be rockin'!

That sound like a tough system Adam. Be sure to tell us how FSX is running now with the new system.
