Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3 GHz 1333mhz 12mb cache

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 :OB:

FSX will use all cores, FS9 will only use one simple as that :)

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