My current system is a 1.1ghz AMD Athlon processor, 16mb Nvidia graphics card, 128mb SDRam. Now I miss flight simming, and Vatsim, and I want to get back at it. Reason why I haven't been on it is because of this rig. FS2002 runs pretty bad on it. Jaggedy planes, sometimes the flight is not smooth as if it lags or warps. Graphics don't look good at all. Now my friend is giving me a free GF 4200 card. Would you say that would help me out tremendously over the 16mb card I have now? I hope it will give me smoother gaming in FS, along with better graphics, and will support some of what I throw at it such as scenery, and plane add-ons from 3rd party. This is until I build my new system. But I want to have smoother gaming, and better graphics until then. Thank you.

Hi, I'ld say yes! Eventhough that GPU would prefer a stronger CPU too. However, you should definitely try to get more RAM, i.e. at least another 256MB stick. The display adapter alone will not help too much. Hope this adds to thoughts, good luck and kind regards Jaap

Thanks, Yeah. It's free of charge so anything helps. I just use to get upset with flightsimming because of this rig. Reason why I don't flightsim no more. Waiting to put a better system together, but don't know when I will finish purchasing the parts, and putting it together. Hopefully FS2002 will be tolerable witht he graphics card now on this rig. Thanks
