I think I will stick with a 9800GTX+ and a Q6600 until there are some major breakthroughs.

Il-2 has always been very cpu intensive, I don't see that changing in SOW. Especially now that the SOW software will use multicore cpus effectively. I recently upgrade my 7900GTX gpu for another Nvidia XFX GTX260-216 Black edition and seen no increase in fps unless I went to higher resolutions. I see a much greater increase in fps when overclocking my cpu from 3 gigs to 3.8.
