crap motherboard

go with a x48 chipset board from Asus

memory: 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 timing

with the board, the 9550 quad and that memory you can clock nicely

if you do not intend to overclock then DDR2 800 is fine ASSUMING its timing is CAS 4-4-4 as you wont get any further without clocking.


go with 4GB of memory 2x2GB and Windows Vista 64bit, not 32bit


Video card could be the GTX260 if you cant afford the 280.. the 9800GTX runs slower than the 8800GTX 768 from 2 years ago in FSX
