Yesterday i went and bought Flightsim X. Let me just say that the framerates are pretty sad, i'd say there sitting on around 6 or 7 frames a sec. i have a AMD XP +1800 cpu and i recently put my memory up to 1.3GB, i got a geforce 4 64mb 440 8x AGP whatever. i'm not experienced too much. but i only have about 200mb free on a 40gb drive... instead of buying o new computer, is there any other way, like getting a bigger video card and a heaps bigger hard drive, to get the framerates up more so i can at least get some half descent graphics???[/FONT]

yea, you can add a hard drive as long as its the same interface that your motherboard supports... its probably IDE/PATA...
as long as the video card you buy is AGP it'll also be compatible as well.1.25GB should be plenty.
i cant see flight simulator taking up too much RAM.. but you can check your system memory and cpu usage in task manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE)
