Frame rate

[Guest]

Hi all,I have problems with my frame rate.I am running: FS2002Pro on: Windows XP Pro (unfortunately) Pentium 4 1.6 ghz 256 DDR ram 32 megs Savage 4 Graphics.I only have two slots for ram. I have to watch my budget am on thin disability pension. (Hardware is expensive in Canada)What would be best: Change video card to 64 megs and add 256 DDR ram at same time? Or:Only add 512 DDR ram (more then double price of 256)but this would mean additional service call later for video card if need be.Also, I was recommended not to install the Windows Service Pack as it does not like Flight Simulator? It would be nice to have it though.Thanks fellow simmers and Happy New YearFlatspin_Fumble

Well, what sort of frames rates are you getting? Your setup isn't bad the way it is, although a 32 mg video card is a bit low end these days.If your options are upgrading your video card and your RAM at the same time OR just upgrading the RAM, then definitely I would vote for the "package deal" (card and RAM). I can't help you with the WinXP and/or Service Pack dilemma. My game computer is still running Win 98SE! :-rollGood luck.-Lindy :-wave
