<DIV>>I got fed up with it and gave it to Rick Davis Shelburne Nova Scotia
<BR><BR>>because its cold up there and I figured it would run better.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Not so. Decomissioned LOL. Has a tendancy to eat
RAM. Chewed through about 4 gigs of pricey new ECC sticks in 6 months.
Scared to put any more in it. Yup, sounds like a plane. Won't run long without
the fans either, even up here in the North Pole. Nice big case, but also
impossible to work in unless you're a Leprechan. Doesn't like X-Plane much for
some reason either. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've had it loaded as new with both XP Pro and
Vista. Starts bleeping and going all freaking nuts after about a half an hour of
flying. I eventually put a piece of electrical tape over the Pizo hole before I
took a pair of needle nose pliers to it to shut it up.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Always crashing. That's why I eventually broke down
and bought this I7 after I lost about 6 hours editing (yea ... I know "stupid
head" had the autosave turned off 'cause it was locking things
up) I tried everything right down to cleaning an re-seating the processors
with the best compound I could buy. No difference. I think it's compatability
issues or something. Like they skipped the driver build for that configuration.
I gave up trying to find the audio drivers and installed another
card.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Currently it's in the process of being packed up
and shipped back to you (ha ha) so you can play with it again. I do have it
running ok now, Windoze XP Pro 32 bit but only one gig of ram left and I ain't
buying anymore.</FONT></DIV>
