Hi everyoneThis is probably a really stupid question, but:I'm probably not as serious about flight sim as everyone here is--i'm perfectly content to just play the default game w/o addons or anything. I bought FSX and of course i'm getting flower FPS than I'd like--would adding a new video card speed that up? Or what else could I do?Thanks to anyone who can help

IF you are getting low performance like in FPS. Adding a video card would not change that very much. You need a better processor (PC) for improving FPS. A better Video card would render the graphics much better. Thats the big picture (no pun).This is my speculation. I am confident you would start seeing sub $1000 range PCs during Christmas or post Christmas with the new Intel processos Core 2 Duo. And these PC would run standard FSX with acceptable performance. Even there ofcourse, you would need a graphics card with ateast 256MB memory.Hope that helps.Manny

As Manny say, in general no. Depends on what your main hardware specs are though. If you had a really pathetic video card versus the rest of your system, then a video card upgrade could in fact be beneficial.Gary
