with the release of Core i7, will FSX use all of the available processors that the chip has to offer?
What would the tweak for SP1 be? since that only covered 4 cores.(mask=1111) would it be mask=11111111?

Core i7 is currently 4 core, with 8 threads. It would probably be best to try tweaks for BOTH eight cores, AND four cores, to see which works better for you. The tweak for quad cores is Affinitymask=15, not 1111. In service pack 2 this is AUTOMATIC, but you could still add it anway and try between 4 and 8 threads just to see if either works better.
