The next version, FSX, should be out by the end of 2006.

Which means that the computer/OS that can run it crash-free or
stutter/free should be out around Q4 of 2008.

Just remember not to get the one from Dell.

LOL. You're wrong. MSFS is specifically designed to stutter, whatever the
hardware is. It's not a big, it's a feature. :-P

Just remember not to get anything from Dell.

I have bought five Dell computers and Laptops for myself and others and
never had a single problem.
I have no connection with the company, but am very pleased with them.

I guess I shouldn't really complain. My Dell, slightly less than a
year old, is still a dependable machine. I just wish it came at least
with an AGP port or some way to add one. It was a gift, yet I would
have been snookered as easily - in this day and age, a system with
nothing more than PCI....

I wish - no, it's not PCI-e, it's not Express anything. It's a Dell
Dimension that was a gift. Truth be told, I wouldn't have paid much
attention to stats other than DVD Burner and CPU type, assuming that
AGP at least would have been added. I've now learned a very valuable
lesson. I've also learned a lot about on-board graphics, or should
say, I've learned that you don't get a lot from on-board graphics.
