When you add a more powerful processor. I talked with a person who was releasing videos in FS-X and had superb game quality, commercial quality. It turns out he has the same computer specs as me except one difference... a 3.2 Ghz processor. If he can get that sort of peformance from a processor upgrade by .2, then that would be the way to go! Except that's a lot more expensive route to take then RAM...  Here's a video he made: vbazillio.free.fr/FSX/FSX-Divers-241006.wmv |

I have excellent performance but then that is to be expected. I have an AMD processor which regardless of the Intel FanBoy Association's fondest wishes and wildest dreams, has been and will remain a superior CPU for Flightsim. That's really all I care about. Benchmarks are meaningless. Results are the proof.

Even though I am currently using a Pentium 4 CPU right now, I have to agree with Tom. With AMD, you get more processing power per clock speed. My last computer, which was an AMD Athlon XP 2000+, which ran at 1.7ghz, but it was easily out performing 2ghz Pentiums. However, I tend to go with what ever suits my current budget when building a computer. Though I do slightly prefer AMD over INTL, I have to say that I have been very happy with my current Pentium 4 3.06ghz cpu.  |

LMAO  hey, I have always been an AMD fan, still am, but the new Core2 duo is way ahead of the best AMD right now, both in benchmarks and in FS performance, but hey, whatever works, right? ;D |

Nice video. I'm running a 3ghz chip, 1gb memory, and a 128mb video card. I guess my bottleneck is the video card.  Brian |

Yup, that and your RAM.
Someday I want to have these specs:
3.2+ Ghz Processor
2 Gig RAM
Maybe 512 mb card if I go that far..
Minimum specs on the box should definitely not be 1.0 ghz processor and 64 MB graphics card.
It would look like FS98! ;D
