PMDG 738 into Innsbruck (video)

[Tchkinjiu]

You know JR, technology now-a-days is pretty affordable. I making my own right now. All you have to know is what parts you need, and someone to build it for you. I going to build a little better than his computer for under $2,000, mines is around $1,750. Here's the specs on it so far.

Athlon 64 (3400+)
1 GB Corsair Extreme Memory
X800 XT (Reason I don't have my comp yet)
120 GB Seagate
And drives, case, ect.

And Nexus, one request. I would like to see how long it takes you to load up FS. From Desktop to in game. Eh?

[quote]Athlon 64 (3200+, but it's overclocked)
Radeon 9800XT graphics (overclocked aswell)
TwinMos DDR400 (1gb of memory)
S-ATA harddrive from Maxtor.

The sim runs pretty well, but as you notice the ground texture stutters but not the aircraft. Movements about the y and x axis is smooth. haven't found a solution yet

Wow, impressive rig you'll have  ;D

But ehm...1750 dollars for that?
Dude you're getting ripped off. I bought mine for just under 1300 bucks  ;)
But I built the system myself and that alone will save you lots of cash I guess.
Good that you avoid Twinmos memory though, not compatible with all motherboards for the 64 processor  >:(

I'm also glancing at the new cards from both ATi and Nvidia, but then checked some benchmarks and it revealed only a frame rate gain of some 5 FPS...not really worth it at all. =/

Here's the link if you're interested  :)

Silver1, my co-worker studies at the university so he hosts the file on the unviersity server  ;D

[Silver1SWA]

Well do you know of any other options?  What are some cheap, if not free, places to host videos?

[Nexus]

I know some, but they mostly has a 20mb limit.
I'm thinking about buying webspace so I can upload whatever I want there...=/

Nexus, if I'm getting ripped-off, that's bad. But if you know where to get cheaper products, that's good. Where do you buy your parts? I going through Newegg right now, but it's not too late to look the other direction. Plus I am having someone do it for me, but he's a friend, so I assume it's free, but you have to pay anyways, because you'll feel bad if you don't...

[Nexus]

with your budget I could threw in an Athlon 64 FX, which basically whoops my A64 3200+ pretty good...

I always feel you get ripped off when buying from such websites. don't know where you live but here in Sweden I know some pretty good dealers (my brother is in the comp. business), and they'll get it for me, reduce the amount of middle hands and the price becomes fairly reasonable.

Newegg has good prices, so i wouldn't worry, also I calculated the current dollar compared to my currency, and it's not as bad a I thought. The dollar has really plummeted lately here (going from a multiplier of 9 to 7...)

Let us know when you get the system running - if you have the time...I was like a child when I pushed the power button for the 1st time  ;D
