Guys: For those of ya'll who remember that a couple of weeks ago, I had to switch out my mobo because it overheated and died. I had a difficult time getting FS to work decenty on the new ASUS mobo. I ended up deleting the .cfg file and restarting FS9 and got pretty decent frame rates with the new board.But then another problem started cropping up. It turned out the graphic card is also bad. It was a nvidia FX5200 Ultra or something like that. :) I still had an old nvidia MX400 64mb graphic card and FS9 runs....however slowly.When I upgraded the mobo, I had to also upgrade the memory. Since my SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) put me on a strict budget, I had to scimp on memory. I put in a 512MB DDR RAM. Before, I had 768 PC133, so I lost 256mb of RAM.My question is this: I do want to upgrade "something." Should I spring for another graphic card to replace the MX400 or add another 512mb of DDR RAM? I don't think I can get away with doing both at this time, although I would agree that would be necessary.I want FS9 to exceed what it was running before my mobo died. I was getting 12-15 in dense scenery at KATL and over 35 at cruising with all the sliders halfway.Thanks for any input.John

Hi John,In my opinion you would be better off getting a newer graphics card. I'm almost sure that would be the best choice between the two. Get yourself another 512 MB's of RAM when you can though!Regards,Jim
