Or you can assign the affinity timing of the sound system to CPU-1. If Windows is set up correctly and the dual core hotfix applied right, it will always boot any 3D application using only CPU-0, which is the correct way to run games smoothly in WindowsXP on dual core processors. Windows VISTA will however be different.

By assigning CPU-1 affinity to all audio processes (or any other program being run with FS9 or FSX) FSX or FS9 will never see a single hickup from any audio bus time or process and you can take full advantage of a dual core processor with games.

Most people asume because a game is not multi-thread, running a dual system is a waste... far from it

Maybe you need one of these rigs?

Kentsfield + 8800GTX SLI + 680i SLI + Corsair PC2 8888 Dominator RAM

Seems like the X1950XTX is no longer the fastest card on the market. The 8800 has the added bonus of being DirectX10 compatible. Right now is maybe not the best time to buy a high end PC because new hardware is being rapidly released.

BTW are you a musician?
