I'm usually thinking of ways to make Flight Simulator X run better then it already does. My AMD Athlon X4 630 Processor, working together with my Nvidia Ge-force 9400 give a good ammount of performance. Default aircraft, and most freeware, run well, even on high settings. But it's the payware that's still giving me trouble. Aerosoft F-16. Captain Sim 757. PMDG 747X. I can run the F-16 with only a small ammount of lag when I really stress the PC, and the 757 is flyable with some tweaking to the settings (although I hear a recent patch makes it more FPS friendly). The 747 runs well enough outside, but the VC really lags me up for some reason, no matter what I do. I have heard many good things about the Nvidia Ge-force 9800. Such as how it is the ultamite gaming card, there's nothing it can't do, there's no alternative, ect. I checked the price, and it's only about $130. So, I've decided I'm going to try and save up for it. First though, I;m saving up for a new PSP. I have a bit of an unsettled score with Ace Combat X, plus there's Ace Combat Joint Assault coming out this summer.
