FLY: Some interesting comparisons, granted they did't test a flight sim like LOCKON or IL-2. THought you might find them useful.

thanks for the link SPUDLEY,
I'd actually read that article (using my secret identity on TechReport). But it was good to read the conclusion again as it points out a major dilema for anyone such as I considering a new gaming pc. That dilema is in the selection of either a dual core or a quadcore cpu and the dependency of that decision of what the gaming future holds. More to the point, I can't see sufficiently into the future to know if there will be any combat flight sims on the horizon which might help with that selection. One exception is the Rise-of-Flight WW1 air combat sim released it's recommended system specs on it's website: http://www.riseofflight.com/en/Gameinfo.html I'm not sure of the release date, but here is a Youtube video on the progress of the sim:

Well, I've got time on my hands anyway as I am continually plagued with setbacks that keep me from financing a new system. But that's beside the point.
thanks again!
