Which processor is bette for FSX?

Postby coolpick » Sun Mar 02, 2008 9:57 pm

E6750
or
Q6600

I'm just buying this computer mostly for FSX, Pro/E, Catia, and Solidworks. Mostly FSX. And I plan on sticking with this system for awhile(like when FS11 comes out ;D) Sorry for the stupid question. ::)

Easy, quad.
Just make sure you download FSX SP2 which enables it to use those quads.
