Processor: E6600 is fine. For some odd reasons, FSX is only single threaded. It'll chew your one core to pieces, while leaving the other sitting around. So if you can OC E6600 to about 3.2 or up, you'll be fine. If not, E6700 will also do.Best combo for Flight Simulator X???

ok...
What about ASUS Crosshair or commando motherboards?
I noticed the single core processors over 3ghz are coming way down in price. If FSX is singlethread, until dual or quad processors come down in price should I go for a robust single core processor?

It is my understanding that you can *trick* the cpu affinity settings in Task Manager to spread the workload over 2 (or more?) cores.
Here is a screenshot . . .
The forum thread claims big gains in fps and came from here - - - > http://flyawaysimulation.com/postt21628.html
As noted it would not function as a true multithreaded app until future programming updates but would improve operability.
I hate changing my mind but we may as well go with the Santa Rosa 2222SE's and the Tyan S2927A2NRF - Add about $3,000 . . .
A single QX6700 would be a faster and more energy efficient choice.Processor: (2) AMD Opteron 256 Troy 3.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 940 - - $1,050
I'd buy a cheap mobo/cpu combo (like a Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 and a Celeron Prescott 2.66GHz).
