September 10, 200322 yr I've just upgraded to an Evesham Evolution Computer.Spec as follows:-Processor: P4 3.2Ghz Processor1GB RAM160GB Hard DriveMotherboard: Intel D875PBZGraphics: Nvidia GeForce FX5900 UltraSound: Creative Audigy2 PlatinumMonitor: Samsung Syncmaster 191T flat screen.The result: FS runs smoothly using the default settings and more. Even the densest add-on scenery, heavy clouds and add-on aircraft still don't significantly affect frame rates, which I've locked at 25FPS. Fantastic!THE FUTURE?I understand that Intel do not intend to release any faster 32-bit P4 processors, as they - and Athlon - are now moving on to a new range of 64-bit processors. There seems to be some doubt as to whether much current software will work with these new processors, which will require at least 4GB RAM. This sounds expensive.I've heard that Athlon will be releasing their new processor onto the retail market in the Autumn, but Intel intend to restrict theirs to servers and business users.Does anyone have any more reliable information?David H Hanstatdg
