Stan, my comments for your remarks here and on the processor thread.
1. I found very little difference with frame rate by having the FS2000 graphic options turned on or turned off.
2. I first ran FS2000 on an AMD K6-2-350 with a 16mb Banshee card. Result=unplayable (frame rate too slow to land the thing).
3. I am now using the AMD K7-500 with a 32mb TNT2 card, 192mbPC133 ram and a high speed ATA66 hard drive. Result=playable, but the frame rate halves when it comes across 3D scenery (which looks great).
4. I have seen it played on a K7-700 with a 16mb VooDoo3 graphic card and to date that is the best I have seen.
5. FS-98 runs like greased lightning on any of the above combos.
