haha Word Not Allowed, it is a work phone, they normally wouldnt afford an iphoneKnew someone would say something about that sooner or later

To give you some direction. Yeah. The GTS 450 would be the better option given budget and the good CPU.

how much of a performance increase would you expect from this cpu compared to the amd phenom?is it true that fsx runs better on an intel compared to amd?thanks a lot

noone can give you reliable number. only a person who has been running both to compare, in fsx. other benchmarks won't mean squawt.yes, intel > amd when it comes to fsx.clock for clock intels are better, and always have been.

1) Enough to purchase it.2) Intels are better clock for clock. Much better. (I think we've covered this 4 times now in this thread) So yes.
