Make FSX fly

[eddtr1]

Hi all,

Firstly I have a : -

ASRock Conroe 1333-d667
Dual core intel Pentium D 925 3000 mhz
2 gig ddr2-667 SDRAM

and a 4830 ati graphics card

FSX and my computer in genreal is running slow - its starts out ok and then just slowley grinds to a halt!

What can I do to quicken things up - can I just upgrade the RAM would that make a big difference or is it a CPU job!

p.s I am running Vista 32bit

many thanks guys!

RAM would be wasted as the rest of the system would be letting you down.

I'd think about replacing the CPU: you can stick in any Core 2 Duo CPU based on the Conroe chip, but you cannot stick a quad core CPU into it.

Look for used E6600s (seem pretty common at the moment): you won't get access to MM for another 225-odd posts, so look on other websites for used action.

Would one of these help?

Intel Core™2 Duo E6600, 2.4 GHz E6600 OEM PROCESSOR

Will that be much better for FSX?
