Are you running the GUI or the Console? How much RAM? How fast a CPU?

Pretty well tuned here...

I run the FAH GUI app on this Dual-Core Intel running at 3.2Mhz and 1 Gig of RAM. It all sits on an Intel 865GBF motherboard.

I could add another Gig of RAM, but FAH doesn't seem to be a memory-critical app. 'Bout the only other applicable upgrade would be the GPU card.

Well, been thinkin' that my FlightSim package could use a bit more 'oooommph'!

We *might* be able to add a little output for you.

Which dual core Intel do you have? If it is a Core 2 Duo, then you can run two instances of F@H with only a little lag.

If you want to really make some folks upset that are currently above you on the rankings, create a Linux boot CD, run F@H from a small partition and crank up the Linux SMP F@H core.

Once running you could earn as much as 900 points per day. Just ask Egon if he enjoyed running the SMP core on those Mac Core Duos.
