what is the IP of the second pc?

So you have them connected to a wireless router and to each via a crossover cable? That IP address you have will be there wifi addresses. Which in theory should be enough.

In the explorer window...

Swap to fs9. At those specs you will never get fsx into a useable range really. Fs9 should run quite smoothly on that system. Upgrading the VGA card will still not give you a great result in fsx. But...

have you tried "pinging" each PCs ip address? if no response, are both IPs on the same network? Mean are the first three sets of numbers in their IP the same? e.g PC1: 192.168.1.2 and PC2:...

Try dropping the firewalls on each computer and check then. If that's working then you will need to create exceptions in both pcs.

How are the two pcs connected?

Man I feel like an idiot! lol I didn't see the part where you said you had got them sharing some files and folders! LOL.

Quick question, have you actually setup a network or have just allowed...

how are you attempting to network them? Via a single Cat5e cable between the two PCs? or with a router/modem/wifi thingy in between?
If you are attempting to run a single ethernet cable between the...

ImgBurn! Thank you, couldn't think of a name to save my life.

For the record, lokis method would actually be better. My method involves the PC compressing the file for the hard drive and then...

Windows Media Player should be able to "rip" it to your hard drive (convert it to mp3 format) then you can ask windows media player to make you a cd containing those tracks. In the burning options...

no mate, you didn't reply in that thread but you hit the nail on head. It's a balance.

There is no argument that the i7-2700 is not the latest and greatest but doesn't mean it's subpar. Its still...

I suggested the same thing to him in another thread but it can still be a daunting task, you save up all that money and then have to rely on your lack of experience to put it together. Mind you, at...

And swapping his cpu is not going yield any great results in this situation until the bottleneck issue is resolved. He is not asking to build a dedicated fsx unit... He wants upgrade his CURRENT pc...

Not here in Australia he is not... To better that system he already has would be about $1200-$1500AUD.

not a slouch compared to what?

Believe me, I understand all that, I truly do. Has anyone taken the time to look at his gpu specs? You mght be in for a surprise.

I disagree atoryl... Comparing his GPU to even a basic GTX650 blows his HD 6570 out of the water. While FSX is mainly CPU based, you can't ignore the GPU entirely. Looking at his specs, the thing I...

Difficulty rating of assembly... Out of 10? If your capable of following a few simple guidelines, for the mechanically inclined I would give it a 3-4! If that.

If you read the online tutorials and...

If thats within your budget.... your doin' good!

Cool setup, question... Have you considered springing the extra for the i7-3770k? And also consider as an option an SSD for os and fsx. Otherwise a nice setup!

Ps. Consider a single 8gb stick as...

and now with the introduction of the 380s... it will become a little more concave!

oh yeah...on the topic of happy news. The earth is actually flat! lol

had a look myself and I don't think it can handle 8gb sticks.

without taking my word for gospel as I'm no expert like some of our others, I can make some comparisons. You are running an i7-2700 and I'm running an i5-3470.

Having seen your screenshots and...

lets hope so...but if it happens again... turf the ram! I agree with Don, don't go 16GB unless the money is burning a hole in your pocket. But you will probably never use it. What I might suggest is,...
