Asheft, You are correct in not all items given. His "description" left a lot in question as it took me some time to search for AMD 6GB CPU just to find it "might be" the 6300. I'm only reaching for "why no AMD shows up in discussions". The answer is obvious now as I suspected there was a real reason that was not discussed when someone needed help with an AMD product. To many years of swapping circuit packs in AT&T offices trouble shooting a 4AM before a full work day has taken the desire to build anything on my own. I just want to drive it. Also learned in 2009 that if you want a real pickup, get a diesel. Should've gotten an old one that smoked though! Thanks for your info. on your machine as that is helpful at this point. Guy who quoted me the "build" is a local computer repair person who does not flight sim. and loves AMD. Emailed him tonight and wondering what his response will be. Also: there is www.xforcepc.com if all else fails. Nice videos there I plan to look at in the AM.
