Was wondering if I would see a performance increase in FSX if I upgraded my current Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz processor to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz. I am running my system with 3gigs of RAM and Nvidia Geforce GTX 275 graphics card. I know there are better processors out there, but I am not looking to replace current motherboard at this time.

I don't think it's worth the upgrade...

So I wouldn't see enough of a performance increase to justify the upgrade. Thanks for the input.
