July 11, 200916 yr HiMy present rig is at the higher end of systems, with my CPU running at 4.1GHz, nd 4G of RAM on vista-64. What if any does anyone with actual experience of going from a dual core E8500 to a i7 CPU/mobo bundle with a similar overclock expect in performance?krishan Gigabyte EP45-DS4 (F9) E8500 running at 4.1GHz 4G Dominator 1066 running at 1032MHz 898MB XFX 260GTX Vista 64-bit on VolictyRaptor 250GB KIS operating 1440 X 900

I have UT2 traffic to 90 percent commercial and 50% GA. No blurries and no stutters when I matched it with a GTX285. The 920 is an awesome chip.
July 11, 200916 yr Hi,If you went to the same rig running the I7, running at the near or the same speed as your old rig, will not produce much more in FSX.
