So it's an Athlon 2400+
At the moment, there is 2x256 DDR ram stick at 333Mhz.
Would i experience an increase in performance if i add 1 more stick of 512 DDR ram at 266 Mhz?
On a side note, there are only 3 ram slots on the motherboard.

I have Windows XP SP2, and have recently bought Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe (about 3 weeks ago). I want to play FSX on my PC without any problems.

However, FSX runs really slow, the picture keeps juddering, and the sound (ATC Voice etc.) starts and stops when it wants to. Overall, the game is just not worth playing, as it is that bad. I have turned all the settings (on FSX) to low resolution, and still, I have a juddering picture and very poor graphics.

I have over 42gb of space on my PC, so memory isn't a problem. I have checked the back of the FSX box, and my PC is fine with the system requirements (processor: 3.0 Ghz etc.)

Is there any settings I can change to help FSX run better? I know I could buy Vista, but I don't really want to get it for another 2 years. What can I do/change/add to my computer to make FSX the game it really should be?

Desperate help needed! Thanks!

I have 4gigs of RAM, plus another 512meg on my video card. Vista can read 3.65gigs. I NEVER see RAM usage posted at over 50%. Wouldn't the unit run faster if it used more RAM and stayed away from the page file?

I have a very old computer probly from around sometime from 1998 to 2000. I just checked to see if it still works and I found it is in somewhat good condition and is running windows 98. Please advise me on what I should do with it to get it to (somewhat) current day standards if possible.
