Anyone install the trial Windows 64-bit for AMD procs and try FS2004 on it?How does it perform?

I was wondering the same thing myself. I'd wait until the summer at least until getting one. By then AMD should have covered their R&D costs and get into a heated price war with the next generation of Intel CPUs. I also heard that AMD has already been pulling Athlon64 lines off the market and people who bought these can never upgrade.

I don't think AMD is pulling any procs off the market they're just going to a different socket, 939. I believe the current socket 940 will be supported for another 2 quarters this year i.e. 3400+ 3700+, maybe even 4000+ (?)

Well, I have been considering to build a new PC. I am going to use the new BETA version of WINDOWS SERVER 2003. Do you guys know if FS2004 is built to take advantage of HT and 64 bit computing. I have a 3.2 P4 maxed out RAM awesome video card and with the setting maxed out I barely get 30 fps. I would like to try this high end processor system. HAS ANYONE DONE THIS?

Since FS2004 is a 32 bit application, you would have to run an emulator to have FS work on a 64 bit machine. I don't know if you would see an advantage now, but when FS is recompiled to work on 64 bit machines you should see a difference.

I wouldn't touch the current alpha test versions of 64-bit OS.http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.html?i=1961&p=2Games run slower. No truly non-beta drivers. Hang up's, lock-ups and non-functional features. It's way too soon to be experimenting with that technology, particularly when the hardware works so well in 32-bit. Leave it to the uber-Geeks - and wait for the prices to drop!Allcott

Ok lets change the topic a little. Has anyone installed an simmed fs2004 on a DUAL XEON rig?
