AMD2.8/Asus/FX5600

Just built Saturday afternoon with a Gig of DDR memory.

Very nice in AH.. Thru a smoke filled furball I maintain 80FPS where with my old P4 I would shrink to 15 FPS with stutters..

The entire project Case/asusMB/Gig DDR/2.8 proc/misc less than $500 before uncle's cut....

Goodbye old pixelated airplanes...Hello smooth beautiful graphics...

Glad to hear that you're pleased with the new sys

What P4 did you have before?

His signature describes it as 1.4 Mhz...

I dont know what the problem with the P4 was, but when I stuck the FX5600 in it, it performed very weak and at times it seemed like the processor couldn't keep up with the Video card data... Especially in a furball it would hesitate severly.
The new Chip and MB perform like champs and frame rate is smooth as silk even during large furballs...
I have spent more time playing with the nvidia settings then actually flying seriously and I can maintain solid frame rates now in any situation, furballs are smooth with around 30 planes, I used to avoid bomber formations due to the frame rate death I would get..
Tonight I will test AH2 with it and enjoy some of HT's new painting art....
