| very nice. I was thinking about replacing my motherboard so I can add more RAM. I wondered though: when you replace a motherboard do you have to reinstall all your software, windows, etc? or can you remove the hard drive and fit it to the new motherboard? |

Well, if the motherboard is compatible with all your existing components, you shouldn't have a problem. The only thing is that sometimes, if Windows detects a big hardware change, it might ask to re-activate as it may think that it is a completely new system. |

I have:
e6600 @2.66Ghz (Cooler - Thermaltake Blue Orb 2)
ASrock 755dual-vsta Motherboard
7900GS OC @ 580 core 1180 mem
2gb DDR 400, (2x 1gb, both exactly the same)
Forton 450Watt PSU
200GB Seagate
I can't OC my board over 2.7Ghz or it will hang.
I have a better CPU, and GPU, aswell as the same amount of RAM (Slow speeds) which I do plan to replace with a P35 motherboard.
Here's the game plan: I ran exactly what you ran in the scenery tab, with some mildness on the other tabs and i'll get 2-3 FPS.
Then I will run the same scenery settings, but everything else on the lowest, and run FSX at 1024x786, I get about 8-10 fps.
It's just not fair! I need some tips dude! Are you replacing files to improve performance? |

Get a 700w name brand power supply, if your running Vista get 2 more gigs of ram.

I've got plenty of power with my current. I'd think I would only need 700w if I was going sli with a 8880GTX. FSP Group is well known in PSU, may not be the best but they are solid.
I am also running a special modded XP, it only runs 16 processes opposed to 30+ on regular XP. It uses only around 100mb of ram
