I just want to share this with you. Please do not start the Intel vs AMD discussion again.I haven't read the complete text yet, so I do not know which hardware and FS2004 settings were used. But please feel free to read it here:http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1876715,00.asp

This is kind of interesting. However without knowing the test setup in regard to what was being run in the Sim, it is a bit pointless. Even the slowest processor listed in this test show framerates higher than what is needed for smooth flight. The BIG question is which processor performs not only best but economically at very high Sim settings, complex a/c and scenery.Right now, with my old AMD XP2400 system, I am quite happy and wouldn't think of building a new machine until the next version of Fsim comes out.Barry
