    Milton Shupe Goes FSX Acceleration?

    You Bet! And all I can say is WOW!

    Txnetcop put a system together for me that is simply awesome! Smooooooth baby, smoooooth!

    Right now, I am just overwhelmed by the power and the beauty of this system and the way FSX runs and looks. Funny that my wife and I just watched the LG 22" in awe as the scenery flowed by. Wow! Wow! Wow!

    Here are the specs:

    Antec 900 case
    Gigabyte Ep45-UD3P motherboard
    Intel E8400 CPU
    BFG GTX 285 OC 1GB DDR3 VRAM, 512bit interface
    2 Western Digital Cavier Black Edition 500GB Hard Drives 32mb cache
    Artic Freezer 7 Pro CPU Heatsink and Fan
    PC Power and Cooling Silent 750 60amp at 12V SLI or CROSSFIRE ready
    Phillips HI Output SATA DVD-RW
    New Windows XP PRO with package and certification
    FSX Gold included Acceleration
    LG Electronics 22"1680x1050 monitor w/DVI cord 2ms model FLATRON L227WTG

    I will post a few pics later.

    Were it not for him, I probably would have never experienced a system like this. Thanks txnetcop. :ernae:

    Very Cool!
    You really did well working with Ted. While your system is a bit different than the one I made in the end it is what you see that counts! Ted is the master when it comes to hardware & FSX!

    Welcome to the 'New World"!
    Regards,

    Welcome to the Dark Side, Milton... I still have one leg over the fence, so-to-speak, but I am awed at the possibilities that FSX and Accelearation present over FS9:isadizzy:, although I still fly FS9 mainly because many aircraft are not modelled for FSX yet....with the emphasis on yet..
