Fair thee well, NickN!  A boat you say? Well shiver me timbers, and hoist the colors high!  ;)

Hello there;
@ NickN
is it advisable to get GTX480 in SLI configuration to drive my three Philips monitors for wide display (3D if possible) instead of my current ATI HD4870 X2 and Matrox triplehead2go Digital?

I would really appreciate your input.

Hi nick,
sadly I never had the opportunity to spoke to you and I never met you, BUT I read a lot of FS-guides you left here and there in the net and they're the best ones IMO, I'm trying to follow them and I must thank you if I'm enjoying FSX with almost full graphic.

I would have a lot to ask, but all I want to tell you is good luck, thanks once again, and, may the force serve you well! (sorry but I've always been a sith ;D)

Nick,

Thanks for all the help and knowledge you have shared with all of us, your Grandson is a very lucky person. Im sure that in no time at all you will be telling all the guys at the dock how to squeeze out an extra 2 miles per gal on a tank of gas or writing a guide on proper shove off proceedures or .... ;D Any hoot, good luck with your new endeavors, now lets see a shot of this boat! I bet its a beast.

Thank you Nick, I've learned a LOT from you and the forums, especially about using the "search function"!

Maybe now you can start your book "FSX for Dummies"!  I want an autographed copy.... ;)

I just wanted to add my two cents Nick, thanks one more time for all the help this last three years!

It will be sad to see you go, but then life does move on!

Best regards,

[quote]Nick,

You have helped so many people enjoy flight simming over the years by tweaking systems, getting the correct hardware, and understanding what is and is not possible, myself included.

Sad to see you go Nick!!!


I hope I can ask a couple of questions...:

What are your thoughts on the GTX 400 series?

And, is CL7 DDR3-1600 good or is CL6 essential?



Thanks for all your help!!!
