Not for FSX unfortunately...

Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:26 amHow about this the Intel Skulltrail motherboard. This will one day be the optimum setup for next generation sims and they will blow away the consoles no problem. Currently such a system costs over $8000NZ for optimum setup.
It uses 2 QX CPUs, can hold 16GB of FBDIMM ram, 2x 88Ultra graphics cards(can use either ATI or Nvidia SLi). Give it a few years and the price will come down.
$1032 each for the m/board

Some have real punch: Prescott!
Others...Skulltrail.
And then there's Yamhill, among many others
I think s/he comes from a distant galaxy...

Probably does
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 1:35 amAt least it beats the old 8086 for a name or the 486. BTW at least these next generation PCs will blow away those consoles the only problem is software as theres nothing out there that could use such a PC to its full potential.
