Thank you so much for this. I or anyone else comes onto a forum to be bullied like that. I have been builled most of my life at school and i don't need to come onto a forum and get it aswell.Here is the computer again as the other one ended but has been relisted:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250583371746ThanksDale

Hi Dale,Like Red1 said, best thing you can do is to wait until the PC arrives and give it a go...I came into FS9 when I could no longer fly Flight Unlimited on account of having broken my previous graphics card. FU3 gave a top of 30 fps and sometimes as low as 10 so I was already immune to jerky motion. With FS9 I get from 100 fps (no AI and little autogen in clear weather) down to single figures in a demanding situation (see my next paragraph).I have a 2.6 gig processor, an old AMD graphics card at 720ish meg, 2 gig of RAM on an ancient motherboard (not even PCI-E or SATA2) with a verrrry slow bus speed and I get tolerable framerates (30+) with most things maxed out. If I intend to fly into a very busy airport I slide the AI Traffic down to nearly zero to keep the framerate up as I approach because my low-spec doesn't like dealing with lots of 3-d AI.That sort of thing isn't a problem: it doesn't matter anyway if you're just floating around with no plan just looking at the scenery, and if you're making a planned flight you ought to be anticipating potential problems like that before taking off.Incidentally, I vaguely recall seeing that if you have an old glass-tube TV, the pictures only change at 25Hz (fps) anyway. It flickers at 50Hz but the pictures are doubled and interlaced. This means that anything on your PC monitor that does 25 fps or better will look at least as smooth as a TV program.A lot of people are spoilt by the availability of good spec PCs but I spend most of my time practically broke (like you I suspect) and don't mind building my own PC. If the one you just bought doesn't perform as well as you hoped, do what I do and treat it as an opportunity to learn about building your own. It's a lot cheaper in the long run, more fun and much more satisfying.Have fun with it.D
