The stang?


Your trying to run one of the most advanced display systems in MSFS history on that system.

If you dont have some serious hardware or willing to give up some scenery on that system you wont get rid of perf issues running that plane.

All I ever said about Nhancer is if you are not on the newer drivers and cards (185.xx or above) you do not need to upgrade Nhancer to the new version as the older one supports the older cards.

PSU needs to come first however past following my guides for OS and FSX optimizing there is nothing I can suggest.

The a better video card will help. At least you are on a C2 Intel so that card will give you improvements, no doubt about that.

On the mustang you can get a few extra FPS in the VC by turning off the Copilot display

panel.cfg

make sure your changes are done to VC section 3 only.

Contrary to what was stated above about your processor,

Perhaps you might be alluding to your CPU in which case I would agree.  You have a core duo processor?  If you want to spend the least amount of money on your CPU, I would recommend getting a core 2 duo which is the 2nd iteration of Intel's dual core CPUs.  It is much better in terms of power consumption management and a better value compared to the core duo CPUs.





.... the E4600 you listed IS in fact a Core2 Duo

..and it will clock if that board/BIOS allows it and was the reason I considered the suggestion of a 9800GTX was OK if it will work in the slot and if the right PSU is present, would in fact be an upgrade for you.

If your CPU was not a Core2 it would not have been wise to suggest the 9800GTX was OK to try. It would have been better to suggest a proper match in Vcard to the CPU in use.
