Quick question for you guys!

Under system info my processor is listed as follows:

Processor AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 440 Processor, 3000 Mhz, 3 Core(s), 3 Logical Processor(s)

Does this mean all 3 cores combined make 3.0ghz? or is each core rated at 3.0 ghz. This might explain why I can only max FS9 at 60 FPS and like at worst 10 in heavy weather. Graphic card is ATI Radeon HD5570 1GB DDR3 ram, Total system ram is 8GB.

Thanks!

Cristian

Christian - 3 cores at 3ghz each. FS9 will only use one of them though.

Yeah im aware of that unfortunate downside. By all means FSX should run 30 FPS easily with that but of course she doesnt...I fear I might have to waste a day getting her set up because that 737 ngx is reaaaaaally tempting me
