Well Intel have unveiled their new processors! Sounds like they'll handle FSX without breaking into a sweat http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7085480.stm

Hopefully I should be able to afford one in about 5 years when the price comes down. I can't see this being in the pocket range of the average PC-er.........shame.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Good morning Mark... :)

So this is another leap forward for mankind
and
Another step forward towards my pocket book
:)    ;D    ;)

What ever happened to the old slide rule (I still have mine in the leather case)  ;) and
the ability to count on one's fingers and toes?   ::)
Paper and pencils (I know some of the younger generation are wondering what they are) and the ability to do mathematics using one's own brain are they all going out the Relief Tube. (Relief Tube...take a guess...in the cockpit...very close to pilot with a one size funnel fits all  ;D).

The old saying a "Change is as good as a rest", I really wonder about that one. :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

As much of this technology originates in the Far East...

....maybe the next Central Processor will be named; "Phuket"... ::)...!

..(or would that possibly be a result of a faulty design?)... :-[...!
