Ok.. I'm gonna be getting back into AH before too long. Before I got and blow a bunch of cash I wanted to get some input as to what gear would work.

I have an MSFF-II stick right now as well as the latest TrackIR thingy.

I would like to (finally) expand by adding in a separate throttle control and pedals, however I'm a little worried that all those USB things plugged in at once might interfere with each other, or AH won't support it all at the same time.

Please, any advice sould be highly appreciated.

That's the plan for thrott/pedals, however I'll give up my FF kicking and screaming (and crying). Big part of the issue.

The 3Ghz is available in Northwood core Tumor. No reason to put a slower, hotter CPU in there (Prescott), unless you need a portable space heater in your computer room.

I've had the system except for the GT card for awhile Skuzzy (and one of those Volcano coolers that sound like a hurricane happenin inside, as well as a bunch of case fans). When I get back home I have a new case w/560w p/s to "upgrade".

Any comment on the mix-match SW/CH Thrott&Peds/TrackIR3? I already have the SW and TrackIR3... trying to figure out which I could live without if I HAVE to give up either the pedals or throttle due to compatibility issues.

As long as it is all USB, it should not be a problem. Toss a game port into the mix though and it just makes its tricky, but it should work.

There really are no issues if all are USB. Note the Track IR2 in my sig. Check this thread.
