Hi All,I have an MPC Millennium with the following specs:

Others will put it more nicely, but quite frankly FSX in its current incarnation is a performance pig and will bring even the most fire breathing computer of today to its knees if you try to drive FSX too hard (ie. sliderrightitis).Assuming you don't want to upgrade your whole system, your video card seems out of balance with the rest of your system, so you would likely benefit the most from an upgrade to something like a 7600 AGP 256M card for not too many dollars. This will of course do nothing to reduce your load up times, as you already have enough memory for your system to do the best it can in this regard, but your graphics performance and quality should go up reasonably.Otherwise, keep your slider right tendancies in check and apply a few of the tweaks suggested in the AVSIM forums and you'll be at least as well off as the rest of us until either hardware catches up (long story, but not likely) or MS comes to the rescue with some sort of performance fixing patch in the next few months (hopefully).Gary

Gary, thanks for the response. I rather suspected it was more FX's performance than my system, which was very fast when I bought it in 2004.I'll upgrade my video card and see what that does, then reluctantly slide my sliders to the left.
