Cool.

Unfortunately it will not help MSFS...

Each core can operate at an average maximum clock frequency of 1.78GHz.

cheers,

in 1997 when we all got together when we were called combatfs . com I had a 250 processor to run cfs-1 then in 1998 I got a wow 350 and could run everything all turned up in cfs-1.
I also remember online flying and had to wait in line for a room to open.

in 1999 I got my first server and it was a 450 Unix, lol it drove me nuts, and canelo in 2001 talked me into a 550, for awhile we had 2 servers to run this site and downloads. This was back in the day of planes to download were 1/2 MB.

Boy have we come far and to look at what is coming in processors the sky is our limit.

We need MS to keep a promise come true with a new flight sim like realism.:encouragement:

I started out in CFS with a Cyrx 266 & 64mg of RAM. Dang that thing would get hot and I've to shut it down after a couple of hours (common problem with that cpu). Eventually upgraded to a AMD 500 and 128mg of RAM along with a VooDoo 3 vid card. CFS 1 went like aces on that rig, but CFS 2 would give it the stutters. I did run CFS 3 on it a couple of times with everything turned down. I still have it in a storage shed behind the house.
