mutley 4,487 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 That's a great set up you have there Helaro If you ever have some spare cash upgrade to Windows 7 it really does work a lot better and all those niggles you have with Vista will be gone!

Cheers I have to agree with Mutley on this one, I jumped from XP to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with no problems at all and Flight Simulator X runs great, just about tweaked all my settings now and seems to be very stable without any crashes or problems to report so far. I have been running this for a good couple of weeks now. A little tip if you are running Windows Vista though is turn off the side bar gadget thing on the right, it uses about half a gig of ram according to the UK Product Manager of Microsoft, so free up some by turning it off Link to post Share on other sites

I changed everything so it was a complete new PC for me and such an improvement over the AGP system I had. What graphics card are you looking to put in your machine when you go for one?

MartinW 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 but at least when I built my i5 I put in a motherboard that is capable of upgrading to an i7 later. i7 is socket 1366. i5 is socket 1156. i5 socket P55 for i7 800 and i5. Lynfield series then? Good overclockers the i7 800 series apparently. And I'm sure by the time you upgrade the prices will have come down for the Lynfields. P.S. Martin W's specs to follow.
