(Sorry for this post)I read further on and found out you need two chip sets .Therefore it would be a very costly route even if it was a good CPU for gaming. Once again sorry for this post.Its a server processor but is it good for gaming or fs2004 is what I really want to know?Intel Dual-Core Xeon TM Processor 5080 3.73GHz 1066MHz 771pin 65nm 4MB L2 CacheProcessor Number: 5080 Thermal Solution: 1U Passive/ 2U+ Active Combo Processor Frequency: 3.73 GHz CPUID String: 0F64 Package Type: 771 pin Core Voltage: 1.25V-1.400V Bus Speed: 1066 MHz Thermal Guideline: 130W Core Stepping: C1 Thermal Spec: 78

No, not really. All that expense is wasted unless you're running an app that is specifically coded to use the multi-CPU support. And that thing has a 130W design thermal power...you'd need a lot of attention to keeping it cooled down.For what you'd spend on that CPU and the expensive specialized mobo it needs, ECC memory etc, you can have a screaming fast X6800 Conroe and an 8800GTX video card. A way better option for FS...RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile
