Also, hoping it addresses the puzzle of the no-CD patch vs the new update
from Microsoft.

No-CD Patch? Where I come from, "patches" are meant to be fixes for
software, while a program's reliance on the CD isn't so much a flaw as
a basic form of copy-protection, meant to hobble those who manage to
obtain the game, but mysteriously lack the original CD's they were
published on. So let's call it what it is - a crack.

The likelihood is that you'll need the newest no-CD crack you can get
for the latest update from MS. For software publishers, the good part
about having to update or issue patches for their products is that
they work like a kind of copy-protection: updates won't work on
cracked software, while cracks won't work on updated software.

Lastly, I recently acquired - purely for evaluation purposes as MS has
no demo - a copy of FS 2004. While your system may very well out-pace
the specs of my 2Ghz P4 (GeforeIII; 512 mb RAM), on my system, FS 2004
ran like a slideshow. Suffice to say I'll be sticking with FS 2002
which I purchased last year.
