May 10, 200917 yr Nothing...NOTHING you use to "back up" ANY of your arguments has ANYTHING to do with FSX. Just choked with 3dmark and Tom's references.And all that propaganda about market manipulations? Oh, and you compare a 6GHz AMD to a 2.6GHz i7?? Clocking aside, like I said before, apples to oranges. And the i7 950 is not $1000. Since everyone has to clock whatever cpu they get for FSX...performance/price comparisons based on default clock speeds don't matter. So no one has to spend $1000 for a cpu unless they want the extra multipliers.Frank (OP): You got the best advice you can get from Nick. All this other static is pointing you in the wrong direction if you want the best sim experience you can get stick with the i7 like Nick said. I agree it's not cheap but you can't cheap out with this simulator. You'll get what you pay for. If you want what the sim is capable of delivering it's going to cost a bit...more than a $700 system I can tell you that. -jkIntel has the best solution, but I feel that it is not worth the price. The OP will decide anyway. I have owned an Intel processor before and it was great. I wasn't talking about the i7 950, I was talking about the i7 965 EE. Ya, 6 GHz to a 2.6 GHz i7. Do you know there are higher clocked i7s? One at 2.93 GHz and one at 3.2 GHz. Why don't the i7s just overclock if it is so unfair? Oh, wait... The already did overclock on the 3DMark results. That's what Intel did some time ago to set the record. I know 3DMark is not the best app to test a system, but it has always been better with Intel CPUs. I don't think the AMD will get beat badly by Intel in FSX either. There are videos of the Phenom I in FSX and they are still smoother than ever. But its your choice Frank. I hope it goes well for you, no matter which company you choose. Enjoy your sim everyone. I won't speak anymore.

May 10, 200917 yr Gman, I got opinions obviously. Whether or not we agree...Bygones OK? -jkOk. This is a bygone. See You In The Skies...gman!"Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done." - Elbert Hubbard
