February 5, 200719 yr Hi all,It's been a while since I upgraded my graphics card for use with FS 9 and FSX, and I have to say that I don't think I'm nearly as literate on the subject as a lot of you out out there.I would like to see if I can beef up performance. I run a Pentium 4 3.4 GHz machine, with 2 Gigs of RAM and a Geforce 6600 GT PCI card.Any simple suggestions for an upgrade? Am absolutely baffled as to what the latest choices are. What's PCI-E, for example?Much obliged,W

Here's a link with a picture if you scroll down, it helps you know the difference between AGP and PCIehttp://www.gen-x-pc.com/pci_basic.htmPCI is the really old style of graphics...if your system only has a PCI slot you'd have to get a new PC to get a PCIe video card | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
