  1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145575 This is some really good ram, both set offer T1 @2 case lantecy which is awesome for 1gb ram dimm, heck it is even good for 512 dimms of ram, but if you want to push the fsb the one above supposedly doesn't overlock clock very well from it's stock settings, but it is rated only rate at pc3200, so you wouldn't realistically expect to get much more speed out of it, but the ram below is about $30 more and you could push it more on the fsb, I know exactly what you are talking about if you did this the ram you have now will collect dust, not necessarily though, sale it, and use the money to recoupe some of the cost, it is better then having 3or4 sticks of 512 collecting dust somewhere down the road, right? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145594 and you should really read this article,http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2560&p=1 it has a lot to do with what I'm trying to convey to you, infact I have decided to take my own advice and upgrade to a 2gb OCZ EB Platinum 2048gb(2x1024gb) dual channel matched kit, I just finished pre-ordering it, comes out on the 25/11 and is based on a new ram called "Infineon", http://www.atacom.com/program/print_html_new.cgi?cart_id=5233764_24_20_153_96&Pagecode=SEARCH_ALL&Item_code=MEDD_OCZT_BG_V8&USER_ID=www
  2. Good job...duh! why didn't I think about suggesting that he dl everest, yeah that is a great app.
  3. Hmmm....this is just a suggestion, in hind sight I wish I would have bought a 2gb kit, meaning two 1gb dimms of ram, a lot of the motherboards have problems with detecting the fourth dimm slot, and you cannot run your ram at T1 timming, 1-1 synched....you have to run it at T2, you get a performance hit right there, the reason I'm bringing this up cause while I understand you are eventually going to a 939 mobo, you are still going to want to run it as optimised as possible, right? why not by a good matched set of 2gb/1gbx2 and not eat the cost or suffer a performance hit of runing ram in all slots? Do you understand what I'm trying to say here? I mean it wouldn't be a loss of investment, you could use this same ram in your new system, the main reason I didn't do the same because the 2gb ram kits that where availible when I was building my sysytem intially didn't have very good timmings and no where near the speed I could get from 512 ram dimms, things have changed since then though, you have a better selection now, my personal view or prefference is to never run ram in more then 2 slots, believe me I have tried but I wasn't very pleased with the results.....as far as your main question is concerned about the worth up upgrading to 2gb of ram, this is just my opinion but yes, I think it would be worth it, the time is comming soon where a lot of the newer program can and will make use of this ammount, better to be ahead in the game then to be behind, just one less thing to have to worry about:P
  4. :icon_exclHey scottsman, go ahead and delete the lockon profile, then set it up just like he described under the global profile, and set it to sfr, for some reason it will not run correctly unless you do this, and if your worried about lossing the actual 'lockon profile don't, there is a back made and you can restore it later if you choose to, that's what makes this app so good, no matter how fubarred you might adjust the settings you can always restore the profile to default later......unlike coolbits, with colbits if you take it beyond the limits of your memory to what exactly where the defaults you end up having to reinstall the whole driver to correct any mistake you might of made....it opens up the possibilty of tweaking without the fear having to go through a whole mess of crap.....I gain a small noticeable ammount of performance...probably something along the lines of 20% IN THE COCKPIT, WHERE IT COUNTS... it's still not enough to justify going out to get another card though.
  5. Check out my sig I updated it, didn't think anyone would be interested so I left it out, you ever consider squeezing the fx55 of yours? you would be surprised at the difference it would make, not so much with this game in particular, but all around it is like you would have an fx57 at the least, I have an venice amd 3000 clocked at 2610mhz, other then lacking the 1000mhz fsb that thing flys, I fail to understand why anyone would spend $50 more for a 3200 0r the price difference upto a 3800(recently all the prices have dropped on 3800 and below), they all have the same fsb and the only difference is what they are stock clocked at, and the only catch is added cost of a better hsf, aslong as it is kept under 55degrees nothing is happening that would cause any damage to the processor, well good tccd ram wouldn't hurt either, the ocz ee ram I' am running is hand picked and test sorted samsung tccd which is no where near it's max capable setting ....yet, sorry this is a game site, honestly I spend more time on tweaking then I do playing the actual games I build these systems for.
  6. You need to find out the make of your mother board, start at your pc manufacture's site which I guess would be um 'SONY', also hit the pause button as your sysytem is booting, there should be a screen with you bios information on it version/date/vendor ie awards/via etc...I assume you don't even know what processor you even have, I suggest you do some research before you even attempt ocing your pc...it is not something you just do off the top of your head if you know what I mean?!
  7. Oh well shit, then I have to go out and a buy second card then, I must have higher frame rates in the menu screen....jk
  8. I had vertical in bothe afr/afr2 and horizontal in sfr, is this how the scale differentiates between the two modes? I figure it is, seems like sli is used in different instances when in different modes, especailly when I veiw outside of the cockpit, specifically it works outside of the aircraft a vast majority of the time, but there were some irregular spikes in the cockpit once in a while, this is unusaul, it really makes me wonder what exactly is the encoded logic that determines when and when not sli is to be used, what are the determining factors if any, you know reason and logic seem to go right out the door it would seem, it works whenever for apparently no reason what so ever...fricking puzzling?! Lockon is not the only game that sli acts like this with, that is the main reason I didn't buy a second card for my primary system, why pay another $500 for basically nothing, god, I hope nvidia straightens their crap out soon!
  9. I don't know if there is really a difference, I did exactly as you described, but at times it seems like it does use some of the other card and at other time it doesn't use it at all which is really no different then afr, not trying to to diss you or anything but that is what I have noticed so far, I do like the fact that this app will actually let you at least experiment with the driver settings/configurations, still an excellent find.....I 'll mess with it some more when I get some time....ttyl
  10. Thanks man, finally somebody has an answer to this apparent lack of support for sli for lockon, I have a vanilla system with 2/6600gt's in it and I have no fear I fubaring the os up with tweaking it beings that it is not my primary system so I' m going to do some experimenting......I kept on reading at the nvidia site that it was supposed to being an easy process of writting your own game profile for use with sli, just like you found out though that isn't the case....I ran into the same problems as you did, it was locked down, couldn't edit anything....I guess they need to either explain better or include this third party app at their site, anyway nice find, I tell you how it goes.
  11. Try the Viewsonic vx924 with 4ms, it does have problems with color spectreme, but you don't get something for nothing, overall it is a good lcd gamming monitor other then having a limited resolution of 1280x1024 as native.
