Have an acquaintance who has a system with dual Xeon 3.2G cpu's
http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SL7ZE.htmlhe's trying to set up FSX on it. So far so good but wondered if it will result in decent operation.
I *think* he pulled them out of an old server and is building a FSX system.

hes better off on a single modern quad
as long as the OS sees all the physical cores it will work but none of the hyperthread ability they may have will do anything
