Hello fellow simmers,My system is as follows P4 2.4 533FSB, Soyo 4XAGP MB, Radeon 9500 128mb, PC 2700 512mb, 160G HD.On anticipation of the release of FS 2004, and the new PMDG 737NG.Buy 737NG!!:) I'm looking at up grading the video card to the Radeon 9800 pro 256mb or 9800 pro 128mb. What should the differences be with regard to FS. The price gap is widening 128mb can be bought for as low as $280, while the 256 is dropping to $475. Also I only have 4X AGP, I have heard 4 X is same as 8X is this true or should I get an ASUS MB with 8X AGP.Should I upgrad to 1gig ram?Any advice would be appreciatedRegards,BillyBooob

I think you will like the changes to FS with the higher end cards like the 9800. If you are set on getting the 9800, I would recommend getting an 8X mobo, that way you don't handicap your hardware(buy running at less than compacity)However, I would see how your card did in FS2K4, because I am not sure that the change between the 9800 and the 9500 would be enough to jusitfy the large pricetag of the 9800 :)
