Have had the 295 it sucks since 95% all games dont realy support multi GPU cards and they have something called micro lags (don't know if thats the name in english). Buy the best Single Card --> 285.The CPU well if you have the Money for a EE go for it but I think they are not woth it. If I had to buy a new CPU --> dual core since quad core isnt supportet by any Game.

Not true. FSX will make use of all cores on a quad.

Just asigned it to Core 3 less FPS. Then added Core 2 and I have the same FPS as with Cores 0 and 1. So it is Dual Core Optimized. Or do I have to have SP2?

FSX graphic rendering work is handled by the other cores. This was introduced with SP1.

Re Q6600.. try going to 3.2 (378 fsb) should work with stock cooling.Re OOM errors, do you have the /3GB set in boot.ini?Your 6600 is a pretty good CPU for FSX!

hi BertRe OOM errors, do you have the /3GB set in boot.ini?....,yes(as posted by NN)I have to find out where the bottleneck lies1st upgrade mem to 1066 fsb(ddr2..only option)2nd ,video card the cpu`s prices are a little to high at the moment (9850 x= $1300)since the q6600 can be OC@3.2 like the 9650 stock speedLet`s see...............Thanks againStefan

Hi folksAdded a gtx 285(1gig) and 4 gigs of ddr2 1066= BIG improvement 1st the 285 looks great it helps to overcome the cpu burden2nd Speed is up 15/25 not a great deal ..but everything looks twice as goodResult; a more fluid and better (MUCH better) visualsa 3ghz cpu+3+ gig of mem+1gig of a good gpu should be THE yardstick for fsx (and the x-plane will make your jaw drop)Hope it helpsRegardsStefan
