Yes it is but check it and you'll see very little usage of core 2.
If you follow this it's spread it across both.

This may be a mute point if SP1 address the problem.

RM - whether you follow that article or not, the CPU load doesnt change. You cant unclick both processors. |

I don't do both.
I leave one, close out, come back and recheck it then I see it spread across both.
Does it help. I doubt it but it possibly can prevent a system crash when i surf while flying.
As for Vista dunno?

Essentially what it did was swap wich processor got the load... It did let the other processor do a little more, but were there any benifits? Nope... I hope that SP1 will allows 1 processor to do things like traffic and such that way we dont take such a large hit. |

That would be a dream come true.
I already have all the scenery maxed out if that could handle FSX would be beautiful and be able to handle on on airport scenery when it comes out.

Hi guys,
Which version of FS would run nicely on a laptop with these specifications:
AMD Turion X2 TL50
1gb RAM
120GB Hard drive
Geforce Go6100 (128 integrated)?
Would I get an acceptable performance with FSX or should I aim a bit lower?
Thank you |

Go for FS9, FSX would struggle with that card but run fairly nice with FS9.

You're on a pretty slow processor, which FSX is heavily dependant on, and your video card isn't doing you too many favors either. You'll have to upgrade if you want to crank settings. |

Not to mention that the RAM is subpar too. You'll need more then 3 GB of RAM wihth that current setup.

Turn down some of your slides, especially autogen and AI.

Looks like a laptop, nice.
Again I would leave it at default and then start moving the slides (scenery first) up (leave it locked at 20FPS) and back off when it starts to look like a slide show.
Laptops unless they cost thousands are not the best gaming machines.
