I want to achieve better graphics and be able to run a little higher FPS.Current specs:AMD athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4800+ 2,4 ghz2 gb RAMWin 7 32 bitNvidia GeForce 7800 GTXI run FSX with Acceleration, no payware addonsAny help is appreciated.Thanks, Daniel
April 16, 201016 yr You could get a faster processor, quad core preferably. But I'm not aware of your main board spec.s, what socket is it? Will it hold a quad? You should aim for a freq. of at least 3 GHz, you may have to overclock. Processor is everything here. Add more ram, 4 gb would suffice. Depending on funds a higher gpu could come into play.

April 17, 201016 yr I think its a socket 939 chip.... You're going to need a new motherboard, CPU, and video card, and RAM to enjoy FSX.There are no upgrades that are worth it with a socket 939 | 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 |
