Memory 12GB: 2x OCZ OCZ3G1600LV6GK Gold 6GB(3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz CAS 8 1.65v
complete waste unless you have special 64bit software desgined to allow the memory use
4 gig is the max FSX will ever use even on a 64bit OS
Only certain networking software, CAD and AV software will have access to 8 and above and that assumes they are in fact 64bit programs
otherwise.. good list
be aware SLI in FSX is as useless as boobs on a bull. It will get you higher AA (16-32x) in higher resolution but nothing in performance
Hi Nick,
It may seem that for now 12GB is a total overkill, but three year ago when I bought 4GB with my current system everybody declared I was totally nuts to get this much memory and now 4GB is the standard, plus in a few years time with all this relatively cheap memory around who known what FS11 will need.
As for the two graphics cards, if you did read the total list of specs you must have seen that there are two 30" monitors in the list, so one card for each monitor and maybe the multi-monitor capable SLI Big Bang II drivers that nVidia will be releasing very soon will drive my two 30" monitors in SLI.

Just FYI. more computers tested on 3d mark in the last 3 months have had 2 GB of ram, not 4.
