Wouldnt bet my money on that, your processor is 2 years old already, just like mine

Here is the real difference....

anything under a 7800 you will not see antelope and rabbits running around a field in the woods...

anything over a 7800 and you will need to buy some food to feed the animals!  ;D

Seen that I'm a heavy iron pilot, I wanted to ask how many antelopes and rabbits will I be able to find at FL350 in FSX?

Nice graphic... new ground traffic... wildlife...

Nice, but what about the flight?

Will there be better flight characteristics? Will there be support for more than 4 engines and vectored thrust? Wil the panels be done better than what garbage we have today (especially the 747 and 777)? Is there a snowflake's hope in a nuclear blast of having a default FMC? Will there be sloped runways? Will the runways be able to be considered contamined (beside graphically) by rain, snow, hail, whatever? Will this reflect on the landing of the plane?

And I could continue with this. I hear a lot of people asking themselves about nicer graphics and video cards and OS's, I have yet to understand if this should-be flight simulator 10 will be better than FS9.

None, but in the new version you will have birdstrikes.....

All my computer is 64 bit technology, we have 1GB of ram and a reasonable processor. The card specs are ok - but I guess on full settings I'd expect a very poor frame rate. However, if I kick out the clouds in the new edition I may be able to have everything on full spec without a problem.
The problem for me is is that I want to go to uni and have it aon a notebook. This will mean getting a superb computer and the max I have is

i know that. i just finished building my new comp 2 days ago, and still making all sorts of transfers. but the thing thats gets me the most at the moment is is it worth it to switch to XP64bit while it's still in beta, or wait for Vista?

And why on God's every day less an less green earth should I bother with FSX for this little if a simple add-on (though payware, but a very good piece of payware) like FsPassenger can do the same a lot better?

As I see it, and I speak for myself, there's no need for me to get hyper about this new FSX. Yes, I will in the end adopt it, but there's no haste. IMHO.

MS provide the foundation and devolopers build on it. MS do the real work and it costs them millions and millions to produce it.

I don't really think this is anywhere among M$ priorities.

Yes, they gain from royalties no doubt, but then this way of see thing authorizes us to suppose they willingly leave the holes in their softwares (FS, in this case) so to gain more $ and

SSShhhhhh. Dont give them any ideas.
