from pulling it out by the roots.
I went from 512 mb ram to 3 Gigs and it helped everything but FS9. I still go down to 4 or 5 fps around the Canary Islands, Top Gun, etc., anything that would tend to tax a system. My video card only has 128 mb and I am considering an upgrade there, but wonder if it might also be a waste of money. Any ideas? Undecided

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

128Mb is asthmatic by current video card standards! That is almost certainly where the problem is Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

128 megs, is very weak.
But it would help if you also post all your specs.
Cheers!! Wink

FS isn't really hungry for specific parts, it wants the whole hog. Grin

Your amount of RAM is perfect for FS9 now, all you need now is a decent graphics card, and maybe a PSU if your current one is a low wattage.

DON'T MESS AROUND HERE! Wink

If all you're going to play is FS9, get yourself an 8800 Nvidea, the 512 or 756 version.

Anything less, and you'll be looking to upgrade soon. (speaking out of experience. Embarrassed
