I am not a fan of overclocking but I am considering doing so to get better performance with FSX. I can overclock my graphics card, system memory, or CPU. If I were to choose just ONE, which of these might yield the most gain?

The parts of my system that I could adjust are:

i7 950 at 3.07 GHz
1333 DDR3 memory (6, 6, 6, 18)
ATI Radeon 4870

I know my question is somewhat general, but I am hoping that there might be some obvious hardware performance bottleneck.

Everything.

CPU will probably have the biggest boost to FSX.

However, overclocking a videocard is simpler and should teach you the basics.

Start with videocard and then move to the more complex CPU, IMO.

Also, I count memory as the same as CPU as they are linked.
