chickenchoker - I think the micropause/stuttering was elsewhere ascribed to SLI combined with a lack of triple-buffering due to high resolutions.
I am not sure if you are able to force triple-buffering at that resolution (it is somewhere in the nVidia controls, but I don't know where, or what resolutions it can be set for), but if you can it may reduce or remove the stuttering.
Wilhelm - IL-2 is much more CPU bound than graphics limited. More CPU is the most important ingredient, followed by RAM and much later the Graphics card.
Frankly, your machine should be phenomenal!
For comparison, I am using:
Athlon XP 2600+
1GB DDR400
128MB Radeon 9800 Pro
Some godawful slow 60GB PATA drive giving me 5 minute game load times...
Apart from the HDD and needing more RAM, I get a reasonable game experience (settings 'Excellent' at 1024x768).
Cheerio
