Hi all, What is the consensus regarding what is the better (no stutters good frame rates) for FS2004? the AMD or p4 or Pentium d processors? I am considering a new system and want to edumacate myself before buyingStan

Stan, Check out this site for a comparison. Hope this helps. I just ordered a new system with an AMD 3700 64. My first AMD in about 7 yrs. The first one I had was an Athalon 600 and worked as good or better than a friends P3 2.0 http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1876715,00.asp Craig

Craig - wow, thanks for the link! I do check out ExtremeTech fairly regularly and yet had never noticed the FS2004 benchmarks.Stan - as shown in the link, AMD wins hands-down in practically all gaming benchmarks. On the video card side, ATI and NVIDIA are neck and neck but when it comes to CPU, Intel is no match to AMD.Good luck!Edwin
