Intel is at least half a year or a whole year ahead of AMD, so I'd lean towards watching for the new Penryn chips.

I'm not one for self-adulation, however, I have a link to an announcement made at the DevCon:http://squawkbox.ca/news/

Brian, okay, now that you are out of the closet, I can publicly congratulate you! Good job dude!

Thanks Tom, but what I could really use is a shovel to dig myself out from under this pile of code now. :(I'm really excited about the project, and getting to a beta stage as soon as possible.

For those fortunate enough to be able to attend the event in Seattle, was there any major news to share? In particular, any word on:-The status of DX10 driver issues in SP2 from Nvidia or ACES?-Any announcements about upcoming FSX add-ons, such as Ground Environment X?
