Tempted by one of these but can't decipher the 'yes it will, no it won't' arguments on whether FS will use all cores?
Any thoughts? Would be for FS9 mainly, but if this gives me the necessary oomph I may be tempted (again) by

No Dave, the Cores used aren't restricted by x64 or x32 OS. The x64 OS will unlock the ability to address more memory.
