I am going to upgrade to 1GB, would that make the game run Faster?

Answer 1

You may of choose a Flight Sim that needs more than your notebook can offer. Even with upgrading the RAM to 1GB, you will still over work the system and cause it to lag.

Flight Sim X can bring even the best of systems to their knees.

Answer 2

Like Jake said, integrated graphic cards aren't made to play this game, you can try to turn the resolution and details to the lowest, and maybe you will be able to get a somewhat playable performance; besides, you only have 512MB of RAM, and your intergated graphic card uses part of that memory as video memory, so your computer has to use hard drive to create virtual memory during the game, which further slows you down.

Answer 3

no u have intergrated graphics so it wll be very slow. u cannot upgrade the graphics adapter in ur laptop. if u wanted 2 play games u should of gotten a laptop with dedicated graphics. now there is nothing u can do. upgrading the memory might make a diffrence, but it will be a very small diffrence.

Answer 4

Not really----Both Graphics card and DDR2 need to be
upgraded big-time.
I am running an 8800gtx and 4 gigs ---intel duo----results are
good but could be better.26 fps+ but still not quite there.

Answer 5

turn off programs running in the background that are not needed and try to give all the processor usage to the program that you want to run.
there's no such thing as too much memory!

Answer 6

That game should work very well on your computer check for spy ware it will slow everything on your computer. Some down-loadable programs have spy ware with it. Or it could be your RAM (random access memory) check both of those that should solve the problem.

Answer 7

my computer is almost twice better than yours and I'm still having problems with this game, you need to bring the game resolution down and it will still need time to load. this game is too heavy on any computer I think.
