No prob .. I did check the air check at 1.00/13.00 .. even with the sun was only 6.4 degs .. I was nice and toast with me toasties , don't require an invitation just a simple knock/bang on the door.;

I still think i jumped too soon with this HP machine .... its good , but it could be ... and will be better.
Sold one of the old corollas , and with that money I'll upgrade this machine (that I've had for 3 days) , all specs checked and can be done (thanks HP) .... so , I'll be looking at :

A quad core A10-7850K brain
Geforce GTX-750SC graphics .
16GB DDR3 Ram.
And a new power supply (Rock-500 ) or similar,
I have no idea what it all means , but the dude who will do it is a simmer , and he assures me I will have a reasonable machine .... and just a cut above the base model i purchased.

In the long run , i guess i should have looked around a bit more .... but i panicked ..... XP HOME !!! 32 bit etc ... have to catch up syndrome.
My budget turned out to be a little less than i thought (2k... was optimistic) but i think the money I've parted out so far for the HP, and this upgrade has put me where i want to be.

Well, no excuse now not to try Prepar3D, once you get FSX singing the way you want.
