hey guys,
Last Sat, my old computer's mother board went out to lunch and after the repair guy found out there was too much damage to repair I bought a new system. Of course I'm not WIN 7 literate so I have to rely on the try and see method of setting things up. Because the old box used a RAID Stripe HD setup and you have to have the controller that set up the array I was not able to transfer data from one computer to the next so I'm starting from scratch again. Consequently I'll be awhile before FSX is up and running again. Probably lost some payware in the process due to everything being downloads now days. At least I should experience better performance from the new system.
BTW here is a rundown of the new system. Because I was in a hurry to get in business I bought a box from TECH Advanced that was prebuilt by them.
