Greetings!Hope you're all doing fine. I have a question which I'm sure could bring up tons of deffrent answers. So, please, if you have the experience, I ask that you provide me with your guidance.I have FS9, with tons of payware and freeware add-ons(and lots of hardware). My computer has: 30 inch LCD screen, AMD 64 X2 3.0 Ghz,{Bus Speed: 1000MHz (2000 MT/s}, 3 Gigs of RAM PC6400 @ 800 mhz, 600Watts Power supply, New Motherboard AM2 Socket, PCI Express 8800GTX Video Card, and Windows XP...And of course, FSX SP2!FS9 runs fantastic with all the add-ons and all levels to MAX. However, FSX is nothing near to FS9 when it comes to performance. It is very slow and "levels" are at minimum for it to atleast run a bit. FS9 runs smoothly, but not FSX. And when I say smoothly I mean the graphics. FSX stutters and lags; it doensn't runs smoothly. Imgine what if I buy add-ons; it may break. I want to be able to make it run as if you are seeing an airplane pass before your eyes (like in real world), and flies without stuttering or laging--Like FS9 !So, for Christ sake:--- Has anyone, been able to build a home computer capable of making FSX run smoothly?--- How do you "overclock" the processor or motherboard? Is it necessary or not?--- What processor do I need to make this thing run smoothly, AMD or Intel? --- What's more important the processor speed or the Bus Speed ?--- Which is better for FSX?: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.20GHz or AMD Phenon 9600 2.30Ghz..Or is there an Intel that's better?--- And finally: Does FSX make use of dual cores or Quadcores? Or do you have manually assign them?Pleas respond if you have the experience on these questions. I will GREATLY appreciate you !!!!!
