Hello,I seriously dont know what to doI upgraded my machine last month and having troubles since then.specs :AMD 2800+Gigabyte 7n400 pro 2 rev 2.0 (With latest chipset drivers 3.30)512MB ram ddr @ 400 mhz made by kigstonradeon 9800 pro 128mb (cat 4.3)Fs9 fps = 12-20 fps with DEFAULT 737 VC.this cant be right.other games run smooth but with shutters.I came to a point where i really want to throw my case against the wallmaybe that will help :)Anyone got a better idea ?

Hi Ben,Are you using onboard sound? Do the stutters disappear with sound turned off? I also have an nForce2 motherboard, and although the onboard sound chip is very good, I did have some problems with it.Another thing that can affect performance is unsynchronized RAM/CPU FSB speed - try to run both at 333MHz. As to low fps with FS9, this is most lkely a software problem. Have you tried running FS after a selective startup? If that improves performance, then one of the background processes is causing the performance hit. It could also be a bad Windows installation - when I bought a new HD, I installed XP, all hardware drivers, and then FS. Although Windows started up very fast and gave no indication of any problems, FS would only run at dismal frame rates, something like 5-8fps (on an XP3000+, Asus A7N8X, 1GB RAM, 9700Pro). So I did a repair install of Windows, and suddenly FS was running smooth as silk - with all drivers and settings exactly the same as before.Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

"Another thing that can affect performance is unsynchronized RAM/CPU FSB speed - try to run both at 333MHz."How do i check ?I dont see anything in the biosI downloaded a software that tell you stuff about your hardwareI added a picture of my ram specification....see what it says about my ram... Is it ok ?I run my fsb at 166mhz (according to bios)..
