I have been migrating my fleet over to the AMD 3800s too. They do seem
plenty fast but I am running about a half a gig less software than
most folks (W98). I do notice my audio and video edits go a lot
quicker tho.
When my wife wins her solitaire game the cards really fly out of the

I am using XP at the house desktop that has the AMD chip. It's got a
hot shot video card because I use FlightSim on it and don't like
choppy graphics when I'm flying a 737 in ILS conditions!

Cool... another FS nut! I've been at it for a while, and have tested for MS
since 5.1.

Yeah, it's cool. MS-X sure takes a lot of graphics power to run
smoothly if you've got scenery setup to be realistic! We'll have to
set up and fly together some weekend!
