Well slowly setting this up.

ASUS CM1831 Desktop PC-- AMD FM 3.5Ghz (6-core) --8GB DDR3 --1TB HDD-- DVD-Writer --- AMD Radeon HD 7470 --- Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Less then a year since the original purchase, of this..
Never had anything like this before WOW!!

Thanks to One of my CFS3 Family members...
Best Christmas present I ever got!

God Bless ..
Stunned needless to say..Humbled greatly..
 
Hi Owen,

congrats, it sounds great! if you are going to run CFS3 on the same HDD as the OS, then I highly recommend that you partition the drive (if its not too late and you've already bunged lots on it). the thing is CFS3 will run much more happily if its not in the same partition as the OS.

HTH
 
Too late, have loaded 450 gig of expansions so far on to it. Seems to be okay..another 180 gig to install of CFS3 stuff..

Set up My ETO advanced set up today and flew a group of heavy loaded missions, lots of scenery and aircraft..
All ran well above any FPS I had seen before..

The e- machine I have used for 6 years a: p-4 3.011 gig cpu With 2 gig DDR ram with a Asus 512 8400 video card, and platinum pro SB sound card, never could have ran these missions I tried,

The Faster motherboard and DDR3 ram and CPU in this new one is amazing..Even with on-board graphics/sound..
Haven't got a video card in the new one.. , maybe someday when I ever get a few dollars ahead ..

Added a 450 w power source and a small Nivida 320 meg Ge force 8800 GTS video card, this really made a difference in the FPS..
Really impressed at how much faster this is even with the small video card..
WOW!
