Buy a single Crucial C300, read the reviews.:) I'm getting reads of 355 using my SATA3 port. The only difference I see in ArmA is in super fast loading.

How do you know his i7 has 2.66 GHz? If it is 2.66 i7's have Turbo so should boost his GHz to around 3GHz. Unless of course he over-clocks, which I don't do as I have never felt the need. My CPU clocks, under turbo, to 3.33GHz so I really can't be bothered to mess about for the sake of 0.67 hz more!

Why are you getting out of PC gaming? I couldn't imagine getting out, I love seeing the development of hardware and software since playing OP flashpoint in 2001.

I have a GTX470 and its a very good card and will be even better with development of drivers. A lot of 'experts' slate this card but I just don't see the huge temps that they talk about or the noise, then again I don't stress test, just play games and this card works very well. I had a 260 before this card and the 470 blasts it, as it should, out the water. I would have been tempted by an ATI but with game developers using CUDA and Physics X I thought that I should stick with Nvidia.

Bangtail - Why do you have 12GB of RAM? Do you do a lot of video rendering etc?

Advise, don't buy the OCZ SSD, look at this baby for the same price - 64GB Crucial C300 6GB/s. If you don't have sata 3 on your MB you can buy an addon card.

The only problem I see here is that anyone playing as or controlling a squad of British troops has an unfair advantage over all other forces. This is due to the British army as being the best and most 'effiecient' combat solders in the world! I think £7.99 for the add-on is a no-brainer bargain!!!!!!!! :) Well done.

Alienware Aura - £1149 Mr.PIG pc - £654 ( plus case etc) I'll sell you this pc for £654 a saving of £500. The only difference is that it won't have alienware on it. Dude - I did a quick search for parts and the build comes in at £654 and thats with the i7 930 not the older 860 . You could go possibly cheaper with more searching. With this theory in mind you can upgrade the GPU for somthing a little more modern, eg GTX 470 /480. You could also stretch to an SSD drive and a powerful PSU. Buying off the shelf comes with a premium! ( Alienware spec apart from cpu) i7 930 - £229 MB - £145 5670 - £69 x 2 4GB ram - £100 1TB hard drive, £40-50

As the above - release 258.96. :)

Yes. I had a GTX 260 and bought the GTX 470 and with the new drivers it you can tweak things up quite alot!

Yes. In the editor chose 'Flying' in the drop down menu.

Buy a copy of Windows 7 64!

When you go to the doctors and say: " Oh, my fuc*ing arm"

Thanks for the speedy responce! I shall download and try it later!

Hello. I read these forums quite a lot but have never had much to contribute and until now I haven't had a problem either, hoping someone can help! Today I inserted my disc as normal and it won't boot up. When I first installed I had the option of on-line activation (to play the game) or play from DVD. Is there anyway I can play the game without the DVD, eg use on-line activation when starting the game? I hope that this makes sense. I don't want to buy another copy!
