Anthony Belton-Ford 102141 Posted December 2, 2010 at 03:14 PM Posted December 2, 2010 at 03:14 PM Right now I have.... Intel core 2 quad Q6600 2.4GHZ 2GB ram ATI Radeon HD 3600 graphics card What is the best thing to upgrade, maybe the graphics card? a 8800GT might be cheap now, and maybe clock the processer speed? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run both w/ 2 GB ram Intel core 2 duo E6750 (2.66 ghz) and a 8800GT and it screams with X-Plane. I can't quite go to max with the sliders in FSX, but pretty close. X-Plane and FSX will max out the CPU.....always (well one of the cores anyway) 2.4ghz is pretty solid though. Faster quad core CPU's start to get pricey. The 8800GT's are getting harder to find now since they were replaced with the 9000 series last year but you can get the 9800GT's for $100 from Newegg.
