Hi all-I just received my new computer a few days ago and have installed FSX which is running pretty well. My new computer has a Quad Core 2.4 6600 in it and I had a question regarding how it works. I'm coming from a 3.4ghz Pentium. Does FSX know how to allocate itself to each of the four processors efficiently? Are there any adjustments that I need to make?Thanks,Mark

Hi Mark,Have a look here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/default.aspxHe makes some suggestions which may apply to you.Regards,Jim Karn

FSX will detect and use the quad just fine.If you video card is a 8800 then you may have to install nHancer, delete the current FS profiles and create a new one, to get the best image in FSX.As usual with a flight sim you can find 100's of tips on the web but just do as needed, get your basic setup going then if you notice issues try to address them.

If you've installed SP1 FSX will automatically detect the quad.Q6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.6Evga 680i A1 with P30 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx Kandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

My card is an 8800 but all seems to be well. No problems with anything so far. I have the most current drivers as well.
