Wow, Luis, going for the gold,huh?
Yes, I do have the GF 8600 GTS and am pleased with its performance thus far. Although it took some time to get it that way since the
drivers have sucked really bad. Only the most recent drivers from Nvidia have made this card perform better than it ever has. But, I still use
Nhancer for the AA tweaks. I have thought seriously about adding another 8600 GTS to my system
As for the Mobo, I do have the Intel E6750 with 2.66 Ghz Core 2Duo. Nice performing machine indeed! I have played around with
overclocking but went back to the original settings, as I need to research overclocking more before I settle in on seriously doing it. I have
had mine slightly overclocked to 2.9 Ghz before I realized I needed to bump up the voltage on the RAM a little bit(which is overclockable as
well...Corsair Xtreme w/ heat spreader...2G). Anyway, I have no idea about using the GF8600 GTS with your current Mobo. You could do a
Google search with the Mobo info and see if you can find a forum relating to it.
For any future chance of overclocking, I have the Monsoon CPU cooler and large case fans to keep that puppy nice and cool. The power
supply is Toughpower Thermaltake 700 Watts. The CPUs have maxed out at a mere 81 deg. F during long FS9 flights. And, I do have a
fast hard drive...150G Western Digital Raptor HD(10,000 RPM).
At any rate, good luck on what you decide to do about your system. It took me some time to finally decide on what was best suited for my
needs, so take your time, Luis
