Hi allFirstly - I have to apologise because I already posted this in the FS2002 forum before realising that this forum existed.I built my P3/1000 machine around 18 months ago and only put a Geforce2Mx video card into it.Actually, I am quite pleased with its' performance. The only places that the system doesn't like much is city areas such as London . Flying around the UK , I get quite good and useable framerates until I hit London .But, at this stage, I can't really justify upgrading to a P4 and also believe that replacing the Geforce2Mx with a Geforce4 TI is probably not warranted either.I do believe that a Geforce 3 TI "would" have been the ideal match for the P3/1000 at the time of the build - but unfortunately couldn't afford one.I can get a Geforce 4 MX440 quite cheaply -- and am wondering if I would see any improvement in the Fsim performance. I have seen a comparison between a Geforce 4MX and Geforce2 MX whereby the 4 model got 3dMark2001 score which was 3 times higher than the 2 model -- ( but this was on a P4/3000 machine!!)Any comments would be most appreciatedThanks Barry

You should see a performance increase with a GeForce 4 MX 440. Just make sure you get the DDR version.

The GF4-MX version is not a very fast card... you're better off gettinga GF4-4200 or an ATI 9500.. then you can keep that card even with your P4.

I Actually just installed a ATI Radeon 9000 128Meg to replace my Geforce 2MX400 64Meg card . Am running a 1.6 P4 but can't see why this card would not do wonders for you. FS framerates over doubled, and have moved my sliders from dense to extremley dense. Card was less that $140 CanadainChris

Don't go with GF4 MX, they are nothing but a bit faster GF2.GF4 Ti4200 should be very good choice, go with 128MB version, is around $130 USD.
