I was just on a website before and a new processor has been released, the QX6800 with four cores each running at 2.93GHz each. If FSX were to support dual or quad cores with SP1 will it run it better than the Core 2 Extreme with 2 x 2.93GHz because i heard that quad cores wearnt as good as dual cores?

you are hearing false data.

SP1 schedules on 2 or 4 cores. and more cores are generally better.

More cores are the way of the future... however for the time being, the hardware has pulled ahead of the software... meaning that software as of late is just starting to catch up to multithreading. Dual cores have been out for a couple years now, and quad cores for about 6 or 7 months.... Give it some time. It took longer for software developers to figure out how to impliment thread implimentation than it took INTeL to create the multi-core. (I left AMD out for a reason Wink )
