Hi there, just thought I'ld pass on my experiences with my upgrade.
My system specs are CPU e8500 @ 3.8GHz M/B XfX 790i Ultra 4 Gig 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM 9800GTX graphics card I was running Vista Home Premium 64Bit from a WD500GB HDD. Running Il2 black death track at 1680x1050 I was getting about 60FPS for most of the run with it dipping down to the low 20's when there are the explosions at the airstrips towards the end of the track. (High Settings except 3D gunners disabled) Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate running on a 64GB Super Talent SSD. Now I'm running at 60 for most of the track and it's only dropping to 45 FPS at the slowest Spots! I'm also getting to a useable desktop in about 38 seconds from hitting the power button. (Yes I've got a stop watch!) I am really blown away by the difference. ![]() I got the Windows 7 (legitimately) through a deal at work, though the SSD is very expensive at about $260AUD. Well I'm happy at any rate. The over all smoothness of the game has improved alot. Now to start saving up for a graphics card for SOW, Though I will have to move MS-Office onto a HDD to install SOW on my SSD! (It's already 3/4 full! 64GB is so SMALL!!!!)
