• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Core i-7 or i-5?

Get an I7. I have I5 and it was completly waste of money regarding the FSX. It runs much worse than on my C2D E8200. I had to apply few tweaks to the cfg to run it on the "normal" settings, but still Iam not satisfied. I have no idea why it is that, but some i5's 2,66 just don't work OK with the FSX. I talked with some guy on another forum who has the same problems like me. He changed mainboard, ram and nothing... He then switched to the I7 860 for the 1156 socket (same as the i5) and he has no problems at the moment.
