My mom just bought a new PC, very very nice spec except for one thing! The dreaded onboard S3 Graphics! It just totally lets down FS2002 and makes it run real slow. It's a SavageDDR card and is a good as a chocolate fireguard.I am at this moment searching for better drivers for the card as I think the default ones that Dell install are maybe outdated, or just some generic windows xp drivers that underperform (well, I hope that's the case!). One thing I noticed is that there's no aircraft reflections or any water effects...why's this? Is it just a crappy card!I am also going to take a look inside the computer to see if there is an available AGP slot...but with the S3 chip being onboard AGP, I doubt it, which means I'm gona have to stick with it for EVER! (Well, whilst I am at moms!).Any comments/tips appreciated.Cheersobk

you can get a Gf4 Ti 4200 128MB for around $100 now.S3 is not a good card for gaming and any onboard video is not for gaming really.It's just there to give video and really nothing more.You can play games with onboard video but you will have all the features of a regular ATI or GF card. You will also have to use the games in extremely low detail for it to be playable. The best advice I can offer is to get a GF4 they are cheap right now. You can get newer drivers but it proboly will not make a bit of difference to be honest. I hate to sound harsh but it's the truth :( . good luck Capt.Richard Dillon (KATL)www.jetstarairlines.comhttp://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg"Lets Roll" 9/11 -----------------------Specs AMD 2400 XP MSI KTV4 768MB DDR 2100Asus GF4 ti 4200 128MBSB Audigy Gamer Ch Products Yoke and Pedals(usb)Windows XP pro SP1a

Doh! I was dreading that answer but I know it was coming! Oh well. I don't think I can upgrade graphics cards because there's no spare AGP slot, so I am doomed! Cheers[br][/img][/font][/b]
