Man I'd really like for you to be right about an e8400 being enough for decent simming. Certainly it appears to overclock easily enough to somewhere near 3.6ghz. With all the complex modeling that seems to be going on in SoW_BoB, I speculate that more gigahertz is going to be a necessity. I'm hopeful Sow will be scalable for single core processors too. I saw somewhere that the minimum specs for the WW1 sim Rise of flight will be a dual core processor. That one may be a beast to run too.
