FS 2002 hardware question and getting ready for FS 2004

Featured Replies

Dear friends flight simmers,I hope this is not off topic, and if so, please bear with me.I have the following system specs:P!!! 933 MHz384 MB SD-RAM PC-133 MHzATI Radeon 7200HD 20 GBWin XP ProMy performance in FS 2002 with all maxed out is fairly poor, I am at an average of 4-8 fps on ground, at any airport in the sim. In the air, I max 15 fps. Something is wrong and anyways I decided to upgrade my system, also in preparation for the much awated FS 2004, available next fall. Here is what I am looking at:Intel P4 2 GHz256 DD-RAM PC-333 MHz80 GB HDSound good? Now the graphic card is a different story. I want to buy a fairly average graphic card and replace it next year for FS 2004. I'm thinking of next year to buy the Radeon RV 300 (9700) or the Nvidia NV 30... allthough my preference goes to Canada.... lolThe cards I have in mind are:-ATI Radeon 9000 64/128 DDR-ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64/128 DDR-Nvidia GeForce 4Ti 4200 64 DDRMy preference is to the first 2. Can anyone tell me if with the new system I am thinking of getting, and the Radeon cards, will I get reasonable performance for FS 2002? I mean, 4-8 fps is really not worth playing...Thank you so much for your time, oh and one more thing: I do have alot of addons like the Simubuild 345/346, POSKY 767/A330/CRJ, A310, 727 and etc... I realised these could take alot of memory and so I decided to elete them and put them in a seperate folder on my desktop and switch them to the aircraft folder of FS 2002 each time I wanted to fly them. The result gave me a few fps more but it's still dissappointed.Please someone heeeeelp me..Thank you in advance, and God bless,Sincerely,William SEDEF, proud citizen of Canada (but living in France for now, sniff ) The Canadian Angel from France.
