After years of running FS9 on a 17-inch monitor, I now have a 24-inch monitor - needless to say, this stretches my two-year-old system (and presumably the GPU) to its limits such that FPS in FS9 is very, very low. My system is as follows: Core 2 Duo 6600, 2GB RAM, 8800GTS (320MB) - as you can see, I didn't buy this yesterday! Now, I suspect that the main bottleneck is the GPU, but I don't exclude the whole system itself as the culprit. Would changing to a 9800GTX be of any use without changing anything else? Or should I just throw my computer out the window and buy a whole new rig? Anybody have any thoughts?Thanks,NicolasCYOW

I don't see anything wrong with what you have for running FS9. Using the 24 inch monitor with high resolution could be a bit much for your video memory. I don't know what resolution you are running, but try changing it to a lower setting. A video card with 1G memory would be a more expensive solution if you really need a very high resolution.
