Its like as soon as you go upside down the thing goes haywire and you spin radically out of control.

Then I tried flying the choppers on the Desert Combat mod for BF1942, well its a lot easier to fly those things with just the KB. But then again I've only had the JS for a couple days.

That's why I've always liked WWII Fighters.
Easy to get into and fly but presents enough of a challenge to make it enjoyable. The built-in mission editor is also easy to learn and use, making it even better since you can create custom mission files giving it some real replay value. Only thing is the sim is really old now but even that isn't a negative since you don't need a powerhouse machine to fly it. If you have an old 500MHz machine with a decent videocard and RAM, it can fly it, no problem and it only gets better from there.

The biggest thing is although it's nothing like the games coming out nowadays, it scores big on one important point - It's FUN to fly.

The Jane's site (http://www.ww2fighters.org) is also loaded with mods that takes it to even greater heights and these are all free to download.
They even have the tools needed to create your own custom skins and flight models too, plus tutorials on how to do it - Also free to download.

Biggest catch to it all is finding a copy of it.

For the record, back home is a nice 63º F, here is 75º F right now.

I BSOD'd when I was running a search for AOE2 last night and just crashed.

may try again today If I have time. Doing a little R&R right now back is in high gear

Timxirish, woohoo another opty 165

Let me know when you finalize your overclock and I can add it to the roster.

BlackOmega, I have a feeling it's CPU-Z displaying incorrect information again. The Vcore reading isn't always accurate it seems blehh.

Again, this is the easiest way to get it. You get Age of Empires, Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome (the expansion pack), Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors (the expansion pack) in one convenient package. Alternatively, you should be able to find in many stores a copy of Age of Empires II Gold which is The Age of Kings and The Conquerors if you do not wish to play the first game. Since I played AoE before AoK, I can play either. DesertRat tried AoK first, and THEN tried to play AoE, and he immediately uninstalled it after one game. Oh well. Age of Empires II certainly aged better than Age of Empires.

Or, I can call my nephew and have him bring my disk over tomorrow!

I expect 300 24/7 when I get a Heatpiped hs on it. I've run it @300 but the temp levels at like 65c. I'm so bold as to run it at that 24/7 folding.

Using a Thermaltake Blue Orb II, so no heatpipes. I was able to hit ~2.66 w/it and my other opteron on my main rig though, but it could be pushed a bit further). Unfortunately I can't use anything too much bigger due to space issues in my Lanbox.

Here's a sketch I threw together quick:

tl;dr, this case is cramped

Heh, thanks.

Wow, talk about very cool! Haha, I wish I had temps like that.

Now that I think about it, same. Truth be told though, technically I didn't really do anything to get that OC aside from enabling Biostar's overclocking engine (

lol). Call me a bit naive if you'd like, but I actually didn't notice the vcore, so I'll probably go back and fix it the right way.

When I started the PC after installing my old HS I really just wanted quick performance-- Got a little anxious to have a computer running as both my machines had been off for 3-4 hours.

Yup

. Bought this one from Lemans a few months back and am just now getting to see what it (and this matx mobo) can do. It was purchased in a lapped condition, so I almost put it in my main rig.. But since optimal cooling is hard to pull off in this case, I decided it would be best to stay in this rig. Once I replace my Radeon X800 with a newer card, this'll finally be ready for actual lan parties.

Anyhow, I'll adjust the overclock and remove the extra 2GB (can't be cheating myself now...

) and will repost stating the new data as finalized.

Blitz, didn't you mention something last week about "off topic" posts?

Timxirish, what kind of micro atx case are you running with the Opteron 165? My bad if it was already mentioned. By the way what model X800 are you running? These cards are still awesome!

Good luck

Not completely off-topic... you can play AoE on a 939 rig quite handily; I have done quite a large amount on my 939 of it... even if it only needs a PII; or was that a PI?
