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

After studying and then the advice of a real, genuine person that is

also went with the AMD chip. It consitently clocks faster than Intel
chips of the same variety. Never had a problem with it.

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
stack ;-)

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!
