I have the E6700 as well, on a P5W board, 4G RAM, one X1950 vid card, etc. Have the CPU clocked at 3.2GHz--just pulled it back a bit from 3.4. Rock stable.I run FS9 locked to 25 fps--all sliders maxed--and only see fps down into the 13 range at, say, FSDreamTeam's JFK with 92% AI, ASA, PMDG B74F, RC4, etc. I'd say you have plenty of power to run FS9.Oh, running XP Home...
