<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They may be newer, but if your video current
card still rocks with Realflight a newer one may not rock any better.
Just more expense. Overkill is overkill. Once you have more video
card that the program needs, most likely a better video card will not give you
any better performance, just cost you more money. Realflight is not the
most demanding program around from a video point of view, so if it is the most
demanding program you run, then not running the latest and greatest is
not problem.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently moved from a Geforce 5200 128MB
video to GeForce 5700 256MB video card. I do not believe I saw any better
performance with realflight. Our flight sims do not have very many moving
objects to handle. I upgraded for a different program that did needed the
larger video ram.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the ATI "All-In-Wonder" RADEON 9700 APG
with 128 mb and it absolutely ROCKS with RealFlight G2. I can run full detail
everything at 1600 x 1200 and there's no hesitation at all. This card is
probably about a year or more old so there are probably newer ones out there
that are better.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dion Cini at Ohio Model Products (US
distributor for AFP Deluxe) has told me that my FX 5200 w/64mb will be
fine...I'm still eyeballing a ATI9600, though....seems the higher processor
speed and 128mb is really what makes the 3D engine sing...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can geta used NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 off
ebay for around $40 plus shipping. These are 128MB APG 4+ video
cards. Same company was the card you are using and at least 2
generations newer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need help from the computer
literate. I would like to purchase the new AFP Delux flight
simulator program. It appears my computer's video card will not
support the program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I pulled the spec sheet on my Sony
computer. It is a Sony Vaio PCV-RX560 computer with: <BR>1.7GHz, 256MB
RAM, NVIDIA TNT2 M64 (32MB) graphics acceleration. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Do I need to both upgrade the RAM and
the graphics card? </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>What is a good "plug-in" graphics
card that will do the job but is still fairly inexpensive?
