Hey Scout, Well, I try to get the most bang for my buck that means I tend to look for combinations that work well together an can be tweeked for overclocking. That requires MBs that give me access to Ext Clock, Multiplier Factor, N/B Strap, Dram Ratio, AGP Ratio, AGP/PCI Frequency an CPU, DDR SDRAM an AGP Voltages. Well lets see I guess the big question is how much cash do you feel like spending? Are you feeling like its time for a major upgrade or are you looking for a quick fix for something specfic? Do you mind going to a Pent 4 chipset? Or are you planning to stick with AMD. Ive read so many benchmarks on different MB an Processors combos its hard to believe what anyone is actually saying without testing the actual hardware yourself. Im sure the 64bit chips run excellent but then again the high end P4s run damn well too. Also the P4s have better overclocking ability an thats a plus when you conisider that you can easly overclock a P4 2.6 to 3.2 or 3.3 with stock cooling. Youll never do that with an AMD. On the other hand both chips perform equally well on many benchmarks with slight differences but I highly doubt that the casual user would notice that if they were both high end to middle high end chips. The important things are the combinations of Hardware you want to use together. P4s clock well if you have the right motherboard an memory. AMDs run fast as they are as they are pushed pretty hard right out of the factory. Explaining how the chips actually work requires alot of reading an I would start picking up PC Modders mag or something along that lines to get a good idea of how everything works. P4s an AMDs have a FPO/Batch #s that can be tracked down an compared against other chipsets for better overclocking results. Some chips even if theyre both the same as far as speed overclock better than others depending on when an where they were made. There are specfic sites for that task that show you the overclocking ability of certain chips by FPO/Batch #s. By finding specfic chips you can increase your chances of finding a chip that clocks really high. You can find FPO/Batch #s here: http://www.overclockers.com/ Within the next few months give or take you will start seeing more 64big MBs an PCI Express. I believe there is at least 1 MB that supports PCI Express at this time. Im sure along with the introduction of the 64bit OS you will see major leaps in performace across the board. Ive had a number of AMDs an Pents. I wont say anything against either chips but I can say for a fact that P4s are more forgiving when it comes to overclocking an even more when it comes to RAID 0. Many times the AMD required a fresh reinstall of the OS when I decided to push too far. The P4s on the other hand tend to let you know long before they currupt the OS that they are not stable. Now you said you already have a AMD 3000. What type of other hardware do you have you might think about a upgrading your video right now. Any way you look at it you have to know that what you buy today will be outdated in weeks by hardware standards. It changes too fast to keep up with. Also you have to remember certain games tend to depend on the CPU. So you need a good combination with Vid an CPU. You still cant take advantage of the 64bit extentions without a 64bit OS. It will be some time till then. I would go with what Fates says an get a 939pin Mobo . Also remember that PCI Express x16 an x4 will be coming out an I really think thats where alot of the bottleneck is right now with graphics. Raptor pointed out a nice combo too but also remember you should upgrade your video. All the 256 new gen cards run well an that will def boost your flight sim performance. You can look at spending at least 350+ for a new 256 card. Personally I would go with a Gforce 6800 GT 256. For the money you get 16 pipes an Dir-X9c support. ATI doesnt support that as of yet. The GT is $399.00 compared to the ATI X800 Pro which is the same price but with 12 pipes compared to the GT which has 16. Personally I would wait right now till the new features come out an there actually supported. That means 64bit OS, PCI Express and DDR 2. The prices will drop down on CPUs as these other features become more available. You have alot of choices out there right now but if you can wait till the above features come out an get the upgrade your really looking for. Trying to stay 2 years current is pretty hard with the Tech curve getting shorter an shorter you could do a major upgrade every 3 to 6 months. Good luck with that. I built this system with the intention of lasting till Xmas before a major upgrade. I did upgrade my video an memory but that was basically for testing only not with the intention of using it in my next system. Theres 4 systems in my home an I try to use any hardware left over for other systems so basically nothing is lost. The memory an video hardware are always pushed back to the next system in line. Its the cheapest way to keep everything semi current or decent for performance. Like I said get the most bang for your buck. To get the lastest an greatest you have to pay but remember you can get kick ass performance by taking your time searching the net an finding the hardware combos that actually perform as well or better than the latest an greatest. Raptors last post pretty much sums it up. My system spec an prices are listed. These prices are basically what I paid at the time of purchass. Im sure you can find it cheaper now. Abit IC7 Max 3 $200.00 P4 2.6 @ 3320 800 sys bus $175.00 ATI X800 Pro $420.00 2 gigs of Mushkin 3500 DDR @ 2.5-7-2-2 cap of 2.5-6-2-2 $680.00 plus shipping. Twin 80gig Western Digital Caviar WD800JB SE (Raid-0 Config) $80.00 each. Audigy 2 $80.00 500 Watt Enermax EG651P-VE $130.00 Total give or take: $3320.00. You can do much better now. Performance wise it does well with all games old an new. 3Dmark03: 10,700 with stock cooling. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi. PS. Sorry I made this so long.

That women doesnt have a clue this storm is the size of texas an shes worried about fcking fuel grades LMAO. Well if you dont get your ass somewhere safe you wont have to worry about your BMW or anything else for that matter. Hopefully this storm wont cause total destruction to Florida but then on the other hand taking the strength of this storm an what lies in front of it theres a very good chance that there will be much destruction to property owners an unfortunately it will probably cause loss of life. History has a way of repeating itself. If you try to sit this one out Id call you a fool an if you didnt get an earlier enough warning Id say you need to start paying attention to the weather. Like they say "It depends on the weather".

Nesh keeping hunting them down. Sooner or later theyll get the message. Dagger were you with BLT 1/8? We had 7 guys killed from my state in that blast. My buddy Don lost his brother in the blast. They were both there at the same time Donny was at the airport when the blast occured an Tim was sleeping above the armory. Don actually found what was left of him an brought him back home. 3 of the Marines are buried side by side at the RI Vetrans Cemetary. I go every Vets Day an put flowers on all 3 Marines markers. I served with Co C 1/8 an 8th Mar Scouts. My fav units were Fox 2/4 an Charlie 1/8. Of course there was a year stint on Diego Garcia an a year in the Gulf with Cont Force there. Dagger heres a list of the guys from RI that were killed in the blast. Rick Crudale: Warwick RI Timothy Giblin: North Providence RI Thomas Julian: Middletown RI David Massa: Warwick RI James Silva: Portsmouth RI Stephen Spencer: Portsmouth RI Edward Iacovino: Warwick RI As you can see Dagger the buddy program during the early 80s was very popular among RI Marines. My brother an I both served. Im wondering if you know Tim. His brother Don is one of my best friends but I didnt know him during the time of the blast I was on Grenada when they blew the Barracks.

What Is "Tragedy"? John Kerry visits a primary school and sits in on one of the classes, which is in the middle of a discussion on words and their meaning. The teacher asks Mr. Kerry if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy." So, the illustrious senator asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." "That's wrong," Kerry shouts. "That would be considered an accident." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "You are completely incorrect," shouts the senator. "That would be what we would consider a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Kerry searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice, he says, "If a plane carrying the Senator John Kerry were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Kerry. "You are absolutely right. Can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident!" "Flush the Johns

I watched it live an I have to say it was a punch in the gut if that didnt move you then you must have just been picked up by the Coast Guard off the coast of Florida. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi.

3 of us made this last night. This was our first attempt at tight formation flying. The move can be downloaded from this link: http://44th.hgmux.org/temp/screenies/ Scroll down an till you see Threebirds TRK an download the movie. To view the video just download an open with Winzip or Winace or whatever you use an then place it in your Lomac Tracks folder. It should look like this. C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Missions\Tracks Start game an from main interface select "Edit" Mission Editor Select file from the top left an select open from drop down menu. Now select <Tracks> at the right. Now click on "Type If Files" at the bottom right an select "Track Files". Now double click on "Threebirds" from the right above type of mission. Now look atthe top left an click on "Flight" an select "Play Track" from the drop down menu. It will automatically start. You can use your F1,F2 an F3 to move between aircraft. You can only see the cockpit view from the 3rd aircraft the other 2 aircraft can be seen by using the F2 an then panning around them from outside view. Zoom in by using your mouse scroll or whatever you have it mapped to. Enjoy the movie. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi.

Are you implying your gonna vote for Kerry Scout. LMAO JK. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi. Fly MarAir.

If anyone interested in playing with us you can check out the server on HyperLobby or our webpage if you would like to touch base with us. http://44th.hgmux.org/ The server is called the 44th an you can find it on HL. I run it out of my home its a wireless connection with 5megs down an about 1meg up it runs pretty good an I try to turn it on as soon as I come home an let it run till I go to bed even if Im doing other things. Anyways check our site out if your interested in flying with us. If not then just join the 44th server on HL an have fun. We try to keep the game at 16 with pings no higher than 400 make sure you connect @ 128/128 thx. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi.

Thx Finiteless. It was actually alot of fun doing that. I have Track IR but Im so use to using my hat switch that I seldom use IR unless Im flying MS 2004. Grayghost was flying lead in that formation an we had a new Lt flying with us who is actually filming the track. I was in the 2nd slot on this an as we started the loop youll notice that we dont get into AB till its too late. As we got to the top of the loop we both departed. I was less than 100knts at the top an I think Ghost was pretty much in the same situatioin as far as speed goes. We were very lucky neither one of us collided I did loose sight of him there for a sec. Valeth who was in the 3rd slot has very little stick time in Lomac hes pretty much our web designer an admin for our site. I think he did a pretty good job considering how little time he has actually playing the game. We will be practicing more in the future an actually try to make a track thats pretty much flawless. It will take alot of practice but in time I think we will make something pretty cool. R/S Creepy847 Semper Fi.
