You need faster ramz! I'm still on the fence as to whether or not 8GB is necessary for FSX and I certainly don't want to stir that debate up here. Personally, I went with 8GB purely out of caution. I'll link a few sets of ram in order of decreasing performance (ignoring price). Any one of the sets I link would be a solid choice. You be the judge of budget and whether or not you want 4GB or 8GB. Keep in mind that memory doesn't have a tremendous impact on FSX performance, but like anything else, it's all those little bits that add up.Highest performance4GB 2133 7-10-7-278GB 2133 9-11-9-288GB 1600 7-8-7-24Lowest performance

4GB 2133 7-10-7-27 that ram there, can I buy one more stick to bring it up too 6 GB somehow?

[cmeeks 8]

There's always the risk with adding sticks that you won't be able to run it at its rated speed and timings. I like to avoid potential headaches any time I can - so to avoid potential OOM erros by going with 4GB of ram and to avoid the hassle of having to drop the timings or speed from adding extra sticks to get 8GB, I would probably just fork over the extra money for the 2133 9-11-9-28 memory. But I suppose I toss money around a little more loosely than some. Memory sets are guaranteed to run at their advertised speed and timings when kept as a set. That guarantee doesn't extend to extra sticks of memory.Had my budget been a little tighter, I probably would have gone with the 4GB set of 2133 7-10-7-27 memory and risked the OOM errors. Plenty of people around here are using 4GB of memory without any issues. However, I really wanted 8GB because my FSX computer is my everything computer - office, CAD, photo editing, internet browsing, and everything else.

For an 8GB set, that's the one I would go with. By the way, the fan that comes with it probably won't be necessary at all if your case has decent air flow.

I didnt look to see if there is, but SLI is basically the standard feature now. I don't know that you are really paying extra for it per sé, because it is pretty standard on 1155, 1156, and 1366. If you were looking at 775, then maybe, but for most new platforms you're not really paying extra. If you need just basic features, you might consider a M-ATX board. You might find one of those w/o SLI, but then again I'm not looking. Anywho, I think you're good to go with the board that you've already chosen.=)

No SLI supported in the P8P67

Few people helped me out and I was ready to buy but it dissappeared in my Cart!!! I think I need either 6 or 8 gig, something VERY fast and something that will support my PC at 5.0ghz. I plan to really overclock this CPU. I currently have a normal SATA 1TD Hard-Drive and I didn't get a SSD because they are really expensive and people where saying that I need to have FSX and the OS on the same SSD in order to benefit my FSX performance. Any help with the ram? I tired to find the exact same ram on another Canadian site but I cannot find any! Cheers PS: Tell me what you guys think?
