[SPUDLEY1977]

Looks like you have a top shelf PC! From my experience and the rigs of my friends your specs seem to have the best chance of not needing an upgrade IF BOB SOW is ever released.

One observation is that although I have the fastest LCD available, these new LCD's cant present a fluid game like CRT's can. No one sells CRT's anymore as they are not as fashionable , albeit much bulkier. For gaming the best LCD is not as fluid and pleasurable as a good CRT. I miss my CRT!

The LCDs for flight combat sims are the weak point. Only when one compares them side by side will you notice the significant difference. I owned and flew a good high refresh rate CRT for years, and I still miss it for smooth fluid solid looking moving objects.

For example, and object whizzing by on a good CRT appears solid and well focused, it just moves quickly. On a LCD it is fuzzy, does not appear sharp, it appears fuzzy and not in focus.

LCD's ghost period, the degree toi which ghosting appears depends on speed of movement. In the slow moving games one might not notice, but it is indeed there. In IL-2 I notice it everywhere and all the time. My friends who have never gamed on a CRT don't know what they're missing. I miss my CRT!

My two cents. See you in UBI !!
