August 18, 201015 yr so, you guys saying it makes big difference buying AMD AM3 X4 or X6 3.x GHz for flying FSX without problems almost all sliders walled right? my system now is only a AM2 X2 at 3GHz and will not play FSX without having a slide show at hand! FS9.1 is ok most times. Will even FS9.1 benefit from that bigger CPU?Not quite. My system is an X6 yes, but the graphics card is an 8800GTS; and I can only have the sliders medium before the graphics card is like "AGH NO GET THAT OFF ME" and literally crashes from the strain.Multicore CPUS help, yes. Telling FSX through the fsx.cfg file that it's multicore helps a LOT. But essentially, if your graphics card bottlenecks your CPU (my graphics card looks at the draw calls my 6 core processor sends out and nearly dies), you're going to see serious issues.
