Maurice_King Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Knowing what Jay does for a job and haveing been in a similar type of employment I think he gets paid handsomely for work well done , sometimes under very trying and difficult circumstances.

John Bosch Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 There's evidence enough about that he works hard for his money MK. My comment was just a shocked exclamation ... nothing meant by it.

Maurice_King Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Let me make an educated guess Intel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 It is for FSX with FTX dedicated, all parts were ordered via reps that I know (one of course being Intel ) Now the reason that it is a new dedicated additional system is because I have grown tired of having to install and reinstall due to the many beta's that I run on the other system, so with this alongside I can just fly when I want and not having to worry about a beta spoiling my fun Thanks for the congrats boys!

Rainbow Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 JK, is that 4 Gbyte RAM or 4 X 1 Gybte? and are you going to run Vista32 or 64 bit? Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bosch Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 It's 4 x 4GB ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'd say it was wirraway as it is a Dual Proc board they can both use 4 Gb each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Crackers! you could run FSX, Seti, videos and music all that the same time and that system wouldn't break a sweat. When we get FSXI and presuming it would have a proper implementation of parallel processing you'd probably get 100fps with everything to the right. That's before OC'ing. Love your new rig!

Jay Kae Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks guys and yes, it is 16GB RAM, now also I will be running Vista Ultimate 64 on it (because I have to to take advantage of all that nice hardware) under protest lol Once I get it I will take a screenshot or two with some FPS over YMML for yas *grins* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
