>I'm not sure....my old gaming rig (which is now my Media>Center computer) was an Intel Pentium 3.0 HT with 512 MB RAM,If I understand things correctly a Athlon 64 3000+ is more powerful than a P 3.0, and the amount of memory does not affect framerates.So the question is how does P 3.0 and Athlon 64 3000+ compare.

any graphs to depict FS2004?

Pretty much all graphs shows the same things. As for games P 4 competes more against the old Athlon XP/Barton line, whereas the Extreme edition can play with the big boys just not with the biggest :D
