Received my DS machine 1 month ago. Still excited about it. No problems to report, all is going well.

I would love to show you guys some photos, but cant seem to figure out how to upload them. I already created a photobucket account, but I'm stuck after that.

I am currently playing, Flight Simulator X, Lock On: Modern Air Combat, DCS BlackShark, Falcon 4, Falcon 4: Allied Force and Farcry (came with the system). This computer absolutely owns those games. It's like getting brand new games. I can finally play all of them maxed out!

The only "con" I have is Windows Vista 32bit. It took some doing to get most of those games working with it. I am seriously thinking about downgrading to Windows XP.

Other than that, I cant recommend DS highly enough. Excellent machine and service. No problems whatsoever.

Just a note, I ordered one of the specials that came preconfigured. My next order (and there will be one) will be a custom made machine, with XP of course.

Thanks

you can upload them one by one here just hit "choose" and upload then copy and paste the link for "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

but you would have to do them one by one.

have you disabled uac in vista? xp can't even use all your ram.

I haven't oc'd it at all. I really don't see a need for it. I have a copy of XP, but since I don't have an "A" drive, things could get messy installing XP on a SATA drive. All of the HDD's that I have are of the IDE variety. I wouldn't know where to begin.

As far as old school games, man they are the best. I bought the machine to run my flight/naval/military sims. Anything else can just go in the PS3 or the 360. My system specs are in this post here:

Thanks

just looked at your specs and imo its sorta a no brainier to run 64 bit vista just for the simple fact your robbing your self of not being able to take full advantage of your new machine.

well a 32 bit OS can only adress up to 4gb of total system memory which your almost over and 2 a 64bit OS especially vista 64bit is MUCH faster then a 32bit OS (dont bother with 64 bit XP)
