Heh, I was joking my friend

Besides my current system is faster than your old one anyway

In all honesty, I only need a new graphics card, although thiis one is fine...........I WANT MORE

Regards.

DJM.

[Gertjan]

hehe dont we all want more,

My old system runned fine with CS:Source and BF2 in high res but in SS08 when i play in rotterdam and there is a lot of scenery and traffic it lags so bad i only get 1 fps.

Good thing about this board and vga card is they can run in SLI mode so if i would buy another GeForce EN8800GTS then i couldd run SS08 over multible screens in the highest possible res 

[[RWP]DJM]

That's one way to make us all jealous

I would be happy with a GeForce 7950 GX2 at the moment, but I can wait for a while if I have to

Regards.

DJM.

I must be able to use this system for at least 3 years without upgrading major components, and it will replaced in 5 years.

I found this video card while searching. Its an EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS 512mb. I will be buying this but also i have a small problem. is it my system or video card preventing me from running my game on high. my specs are:

Intel Pentium D Duo Core 2x 2.8 (Viiv)
2 gigs of ram
Nvidia 7600 GT OC
computer is XP Media center 2005
I can run almost any game i own on high... including bioshock. so whats with ship simulator?

Hiya Hawk233

Technical questions must be asked in the Technical Support area, after entering your licence key into your forum profile, thanks

A great deal of these issues have already been resolved, so searching that area is also recommended

Regards.

I wonder how your neighbour like that setup at 3 o'clock in the morning, probably something like this:

Heh, luckily I don't play music or games at that time in the morning, unless it's one of those nights

Even then though, I keep it low

[micha]

Where do you get those kind of speakers, from a P.A. system or something, or do you use like 16 marshall stacks?

[[RWP]DJM]

That's a standard 'Trust' setup, I actually bought them at my local computer shop

Check the Trust website for their full range, some great speaker sets on there

I actually allready have  a 2.1 speakersystem  , I'd like bigger speakers, but my wife doesn't like me having them  , I was just curious, I guess you really like to feel them big diesel engines, besides hearing them, ads to the realism  .
