hey!
i have a HP a1320a Desktop PC with an integrated Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card. As i undertsand, this isnt a very good gaming graphics card. Could somebody please advise me on which graphics card i can upgrade to and which one. I have a MacBook Pro with an NVIDIA 8600M GT and i think its great, but are there any decent ones that you can think of that will be able to run Flight Simulator X? I also dont want to be spending a lot of money.

thanks for you time
Lochie
PS. I also upgraded my a1320a to have 1gb or RAM also, hopefully this doesnt matter regarding the graphics card
 
Flight simulater X is very demanding on GFX,to get decent graphics (quite high) you will need at somethig like a hd 3870 or 8800GT/GTX.

I think the 8600GT will handle it on medium but no more.
 
Thanks for responding!

Im located in Australia, and im willing to spend up to about 150-200AUD dollars. I have found a few here that look good to me. I dont have much knowledge on graphics cards except my current one is crap :P.

Could you please tell me what you think of them.
If these arent any good could you please tell me some other ones that would be in my price range?

Well theres a service pack that helps it run smoother. I have a hd2400pro 256meg card. That and it runs on medium on a radeon 9550.
