My Asus FX9560 (a GeForce FX5600 128MB in other words) is superb with FS2002, I can run at very high settings whilst still getting consistent framerates - Usually about 15>20 FPS with anti-alaising enabled.
However, you don't say what system you have, is it 300mhz? or 3.0ghz for example?

Reccomending a cheap graphics card for a fast CPU  is about as effective as fitting the fastest 3D card to a slow CPU - neither will perform well!

Post some more specs like CPU size, make, type (AMD or Intel) Current 3D Card, if your motherboard supports AGP and to what speed etc

Then, I can hopefully point you in the right direction.

I've tried my FX5600 in my old pIII 667, FS2002 ran very well @ 1024x768 with sliders at medium, alas, despite the cards power, the machine crashed when I treid to run FS2002 with higher settings and anti-alaising enabled - which the card can handle fine in my main system - I hope you see my point here.  Wink
