Wycliffe Barrett Posted January 8, 2008 at 03:58 PM Posted January 8, 2008 at 03:58 PM I would have gone for an Intel e6600, or even a Quad.

James Dean 1036133 Posted January 8, 2008 at 04:03 PM Author Posted January 8, 2008 at 04:03 PM Yes, I heard that FS doesn't really work all that well with a Quad. Was trying to keep the cost down with the processer but the Intel chip i bought seems to be able to overclock quite well. Thank you for your feedback tho!

Luke Kolin Posted January 8, 2008 at 04:08 PM Posted January 8, 2008 at 04:08 PM Yes, I heard that FS doesn't really work all that well with a Quad. Depends on the version. FS9 uses a single core for the vast majority of its work, but FSX splits nicely across a dual core CPU and from reports scales nicely on Quads as well. Now someone needs to buy a 2S (or 4S) computer that takes Quad-Core Xeons and report back to us. Cheers! Luke ... I spawn hundreds of children a day. They are daemons because they are easier to kill.
