hi I need to run FSX with NGX and REX add ons on a laptop There is a lot of debate of whether FSX runs better on pure CPU power or the benefit of added cores. Apparently the turbo in the quad is limited and in the case of the i7 I have been told it might go to 3.0 GHZ in turbo mode whereas the Extreme Core 2 will quite happily maintain 3.6GHZ all day. I guess the main question is whether 2 x 3.6 GHZ would run FSX faster than 4 X 3.0 GHZ ? Im not looking for much in the way of scenery. I will be much more focused on the VC mode while being in and out of the clouds. If anyone is running FSX on a lappie with similar specs, it would be great to hear from you. Or any input would be helpful really Cheers 1. Intel Core i7 3840qm (2.8-3.8) 8GB 1333mhz 120GB SSD 2. Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 (800mhz FSB) 3.6 GHZ stable 4GB DDR2 500GB Hybrid SSD sorry i forgot to add that the laptops are supported with the following video cards.... 1. GT670M 2. 9800GTX SLI
