Graphics Card

[Shiver]

1) What graphic card do you recommend for Flight Sim 2004?

2) Will going from ME to XP make my graphics any better?

3) What would I need to get the best graphics from Flight Sim?

Any recently released one.

Most likely not, though there's a theoretical possibility of minor driver
differences that might affect graphic quality between the two operating
systems. However, switching to XP will make your computer a lot more
stable.

The best graphics card and the fastest computer (CPU, hard drive, memory,
etc.). What that is exactly changes several times a year.

In addition to the this, I would recommend an ATI graphics adapter, either a
9600 or 9800 series card. They are completely Direct X 9 compliant in
hardware, and since FS2004 is a direct X 9 Sim, FS will look and run the
best on this hardware. Unfortunately Nvidia video cards currently have
hardware issues with DX 9 and are being redesigned I understand.

The 9800 is better than a 9700 but not so much that it is worth an upgrade.
Wait for the next generation of video cards. The 9700 is DX 9 compliant and
is great for FS9.
