windows 2000 proffesional
256 ram
e-g-force2 mx400 pci 64mb
pentium celeron

Most likely you will have to keep most of your sliders low. The Celeron is not the best CPU for FS. Very slow.

Sorry

but in your first post you asked how to set up FS to get at least 14fps and now you state that you get 15...?

Maybe it's me but I don't get the question. Are you hoping that your average FPS stays at 15? Not going to happen...not with the system you have.

You can help it along by using reduced texture size frame rate enhancers. Also, if you give up the clouds that will assist, reduced size cloud textures will help you keep some clouds for realism. Add a little RAM to your system and a video card with at least 128 meg on board will help also.

Actually GS, with the Celeron in there the core arch and bus arch is probably only going to accept a PCI or AGP4x card...no point in buying a card and upgrading SDRAM when for the same price a low-mid AMD system can be had. Believe it or not...good SDRAM is more expensive than the newer ram most times.

Keep it as long as you can, but look at a complete update rather than adding obsolete parts to an almost obsolete system A321. You probaby aren't getting reflections with that MX card either unless you have a patch no?

Point well taken Exx. I wonder if anybody has tried the new AMD Sempron yet?

Had a go at it months ago...not bad. Better off to spend a few extra bucks and go with a higher end T-bred though. Anyone else have experience with it?
