Amazing what a video card change can do - swapping my ATI Radeon 9700 for a
9800 (both AGP, 128Mb) has given me an extra 10fps with the same settings.

FS2004 now a gorgeous 30fps and loving it!

Maybe that is the difference between 4 pipes and 8 pipes. I have the 9800
PRO and it has been fantastic!
