| No I looked for one of them. If we get a better processor then do you think the game would run ok? Because we have not PCI- express slot or the other one . . . So we can not really get a graphics card any my dad does not want to put a new mother board in. |

For FSX I would get more ram, not a necessity but it would be nice.
Disable the integrated card and get a PCI card.
The graphics will be much better.

| You can get PCI cards? I thought there was just PCI express! |

PCI
AGP
PCIe
That's the way they came out. You can still find old (new) nice ones on the net at a low price. |

Medium and up depending where you fly.
You could use more ram and a better card.
Your squeezing the h/d space, FSX takes 15gigs.

You would be able to run FSX but I recommend that you get at least 2GB of RAM and maybe upgrade your graphics. |

Ok I posted above, I managed to get a graphics card working in a Dell (took a long time.) I was just wondering what I should do next. I can not get a better graphics card because I only have PCI. I have been looking at Pentium Processors and could buy one when the price comes down a bit. Or should I upgrade my ram?
My specs:
Processor: Intel Celeron (0.13u) 3060MHz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500
Memory: 1024MB
Free Disk Space: 30.99GB
Optical Drive: DVD
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP |

There are better PCI cards and another gig of ram isn't that much money and would help especially with a Celeron.

Good card, maybe another gig of ram would help, especially if you have Vista.
Go into the cards settings, set the AA at 6X, the AF at 16X and mip-map at quality.
When you set the settings in the sim, take it easy on shadows, clouds, AI traffic and autogen.

RadarMan - Two things to note about Vista and Ram... Im still running 2gigs of DDR2-800mhz and have seen no slowdown compared to XP, in fact, Vista runs MUCH faster then XP in all areas... I wouldnt necessarily reccomend that someone add 1gig to a 2gig setup because that would promote a mixed ram situation. That leaves only these three possibilites...
Channel 1:_____________Channel 2:
1gig + 512mb_____________1gig + 512mb
or
1gig + 1gig_______________1gig
or
2gig_____________________1gig
The first keeps a true dual channel configuration, however the lower capacity 512mb will slow down the channel response. The latter two options will force the mobo into single channel mode, which defeats the purpose of dual channel configs and benifits.
Just a thought. |

JL,
He's only running 1 gig now, adding another of the exact same would help.
He can't be running dual channel ram if he only has one to start with.
Mine came with 2 gigs so I reconfigured it to 4, that way all would be matched, brand and speed.
He doesn't have that option, running Ultimate would eat that ram and leave nothing for FSX.
To match what he has now he can go to www.crucial.com and run their free checking utility so he can get an exact match for that one that he now has.

 To many people posting their problems in the same thread can lead to mass confusion, especially when they all are named "Guest".

Good setup, if you have enough ram you should be able to run most on high.
Just be careful of AI traffic, clouds, shadows and autogen.

It is a DELL XPS 210
Intel® Viiv™ Core™ 2 Duo E6600 Processor (2.4GHz,1066MHz,4MB cache)
Windows Vista Home Premium
4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
250GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB ATI® Radeon® X1300 Pro PCI Express graphics card
8X DVD+/-RW Drive
This all sounds good but im not an expert so could anyone kindly tell me if this would be good for FSX. Thanks!!!  |

If your spending that much on a Dell get a top of the Line NVIDIA DX 10 PCIe card not a 256mb card.
You'll be much happier.

The X1300 is a waste of money, in any variation that it comes in. I owned an X1300Pro 512mb before I got my 256mb 7600GTKO and it could barely run FSX on mid. It also could not keep up with games like Battlefield 2 or 2142. It could barely run Counter-Strike Source.
The X1300 is going to be the bottleneck in that system. |

| When you overclock the cpu, you are already overclocking the ram. The frequencies have to work in conjunction with one another. |
