Most likely not, though there's a theoretical possibility of minor driver differences that might affect graphic quality between the two operating systems. However, switching to XP will make your computer a lot more stable. 3) What would I need to get the best graphics from Flight Sim? The best graphics card and the fastest computer (CPU, hard drive, memory, etc.). What that is exactly changes several times a year. Pete

In addition to the this, I would recommend an ATI graphics adapter, either a
9600 or 9800 series card. They are completely Direct X 9 compliant in hardware, and since FS2004 is a direct X 9 Sim, FS will look and run the best on this hardware. Unfortunately Nvidia video cards currently have hardware issues with DX 9 and are being redesigned I understand. JK "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ...

The 9800 is better than a 9700 but not so much that it is worth an upgrade.
Wait for the next generation of video cards. The 9700 is DX 9 compliant and is great for FS9. JK "DOK" DOKK@ wrote in message ... Is a 9600 or 9800 better than a 9700 which i own now?
