What ATI graphics card should I get?

[Guest]

I have a problem. I love FS2002 but my machine is slow! I live life on the go so I have a laptop to keep me company; no desktop to talk about. My system is as follows:-Dell Latitude C600Processor: PIII (750MHz)Memory: 256MBHard Drive: 20GBGraphics Card: ATI Mobility M3 (33MHz) with max. res. at 1024x768 at 32bitsI cannot trade in my machine so I'm thinking of upgrading the graphics card and/or memory. Which ATI card is top of the line for notebook computers....and will it improve my performance on FS2002???

As far as I know I don't think it is possible to upgrade the graphics card in a laptop. You are pretty much stuck with the card that is already in there. You can upgrade the memory though so if you can't afford to buy a new computer then I would suggest buying as much memory as you can afford. I would try to increase the memory to 512MB if your computer can support that much memory. I don't know how much increasing the memory will boost performance in FS2002 but it should help a little. It might also be possible to upgrade the processor, not 100% sure though. I have seen processor upgrades for the Apple PowerBook's so I am geussing there might be processor upgrades for PC laptops too. I will have to check around and see.Rob
