June 7, 201114 yr OK. 2500K for $214, PZ68 for $189 and jumped on NewEgg one day sale of 8GB of Mushkin 2133. Unfortunately, UPS sent the memory to KATL instead of KSEA. Will report on performance when it gets here...
June 7, 201114 yr That's cool. Not sure what your point was, but I have a feeling that you will be impressed with the performance you get out of FSX if that's what you are indeed using. I would say make sure you get a decent video card and a nice cpu cooler as well so that you're able to overclock it a little. As far as the rest of your system, I would get at least a 750W power supply, and a Sata III HD. As far as your RAM goes, I will say that even though you got a high speed RAM set, the latency timings are a little high, but I'm not sure that would make that much of a difference.

My Lynnfield performance really improved with 2000 CAS 9 over 1600 CAS 6. I will see what happens with the Sandy Bridge. My only point was that after much consideration I have decided to try the Sandy Bridge.
June 7, 201114 yr For 2133MHz, those timings are actually pretty good - especially for 4GB modules.
