Sounds nice, I'm still quite happy with my rig (in sig). I did have to send 1 DIMM back so I'm currently only using 2 GB, not sure if its made a big difference.

All you old 1942ers with the good pc's, reinstall the game and SEE how good everything looks. Looks good all maxed out and everything on high, can do it on my x8xt.

Desert combat extended looks SUBERB, avro arrow, and all the planes look bomb, sound even better.

Give it a go. See for yourself.

Not worth it imo at the moment..

which ATI is a 7800GTX killer? I don't care about SLI/Crossfire anymore, but at some point I want to go back to ATI.
