Motherboard in case:

Nearly everything hooked up. Only things different are an 120GB SSD I added to install DCS on, and a 4GB Memory DIMM grifter bought after we discovered one of the 1GB DIMM modules was dead. The PC would not recognize the other without a pair oddly, so with 2GB DCS World was more DCS Slideshow. Anyway, he has 6GB now, so he has the bare minimum for RAM as well.

That setup doesn't look like it will handle the hikes very well. :P If anyone is overdue for a new PC, it's most certainly Grifter. It's been WAY too long Grifter.

Yeah despite the fact that I presently suck at DCS, I still enjoyed last night's flight. It was fun to just hang out on TS and mess around in the cockpit. Have to say that Hudson built me one hell of a machine and I'm very, very grateful to him and Hammer. Thanks guys!

No worries Grifter. I also sucked at DCS World when I first started playing it. It's simply a learning curve that all of us have to get over eventually.
