why did you choose an FX-6100?

[leopoldb]

why did you choose an FX-6100?

Good question.

at the time (one year ago) i diden't know much about computers and i thought more cores=more performance i could not get my hands on the 8-core and this CPU was cheaper than intels 6-core.

and anyway it's a good chip that preforms to my expectations and what i need.

i hope that this brief answer answers you question. and thank you for asking something  :)

Twaz my favorite plane until I discovered the sr-71 blackbird :)

sorry but that is not a spitfire, a spitfire has oval or rounded wings. nice try  :P

Not quite true the Rolls Royce Griffon powered one had their wings 'clipped' as the power and speed from the engine would tear the wings from the roots of the airframe.

well spotted. i do however know that (i have seen them before) but for simplicity reasons and that the "classic" spitfire has oval wings i didn't bother to mention it.

Is it a Mustang P-51D? :D

Doesn't the Mustang come with 4 blade props? Also, they usually have a bubble like canopy, though there may be variants of the Mustang I've not even heard of, let alone seen before. The wings does resembles the Mustang, I'd thought it was a Harricane, but they have rounded wing tips like the Spitfire.

kinda of weird we both have alot of the same hardware
