Better graphics card would work wonders, even a secondhand Geforce 4 4600 would help.

Be able to handle this ram pc-3200http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-479&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE. My cpu FSB is 266. Does that mean I will have to use pc-2100 ram?

if you are not going to do any OC, i would not buy a corsair RAM, its much more expensive, and it will only be batter if you OC it.

allso dont build up your hopes for a high FPS on 512 tex. size
only if you get a batter graphics card

Jet just go get

asus A7N8X-E deluxe

or just a plain model A7N8X

Drop a 2400+ or 2500+ amd cpu in it

it will run off a single stick of ram or for best performance get dual sticks  (i have 3200 512 x 2 ddr in mine )

and a cheap 5200 gf card will get you buy just fine .

watch the sales for a hard drive my 80 gig was 50 bucks.

the nforce chipset mb is alot better then the via .

jet, I have a Geforce FX5200 128MB Video card, and with the omega drivers I average out at about 70-100 FPS in the air and about 40 in smoke and things on airfield.  But, then again i also have 2 gigs of memory.

Is it too much Instant Messaging that causes the "never use punctuation syndrome" and the "who cares if it's spelled correctly syndrome"?
