Title: Skuzzy...I need some help Sir
Post by: RedTop on October 04, 2005, 10:25:34 PM

Well I have recently decided I will buy a new computer. Mainly to play Aces High , but also to play a couple other games. Now , I just have a few questions. I know it's overkill but why not have it of you can....so here goes......(and I'm not puter smart so bare with the terms)

Will and AMD 64 bit dual core machine run this game with the OS being that 64 bit OS? AMD Athlon 64X2 w/ Hyper Transport

Dual nVidia 7800 GTX 256MB video cards have any issues?

Western Didgital 10,00 rpm SATA with Raid 0?

I'm a couple weeks at least from ordering it.

Again I know this is ALOT of machine...but wth. Just wondering if it will have any issues with the MAIN thing I play on the puter.

Thanks

I'm not Skuzzy, but here goes...

There is a current issue with dual core chips with Nividia vid cards being used in AH, check the 'hardware' forum for the sticky.

I have a simple problem with my 7800 while running WinXP 64. I cannot minimize without AH crashing. I've tried a few drivers without success and I have posted the 'bug' in the appropriate forum. I'm not sure why, but 7800 and WinXP minimizes fine. WinXP 64 and a 6800 runs fine. Just the combo of the 7800 and XP 64...

I don't see any issues arising from the HD anyway.

Redtop,

AH is CPU bound, so adding a second vid card will give you little to no benefit in AH.

I am currrently FX53 with BFG 6800 GT, and could go SLI... but it wouldnt do anything for me except cost me another 400 clams.
