ChasR...well put. Even I understood everything you've said! And nice to get confirmation that the ATI 9600 XT was the way to go for me.

CH Pro Stick/Throttle/Pedals USB arrive Monday!! AH2 is breaking the bank.

I have that exact card and mem and play AHII easily, as well as "another" popular WWII Sim.

Good comproimise between $$$ and perf.

What was said about pricewatch is a good idea, although I ended up getting mine at Best Buy on sale as cheap as any place.

Here is a link that may help you find what you are looking for. I pulled it from another post somewhere on the BBS.

I have the "umlimited" option chosen within AH and am not interested in overclocking. But I wouldn't mind squeaking a few more FPS out of it via software settings and drivers. I am running in 1024, but tried 1280 and got basically the same FR. Am I limited by the refresh of the monitor? It is a 19" Dell M992 and Windows refresh is at 75.

Should I look into those drivers that Beetle recemended? What are the settings I should tweak?

If your Frame rate hangs around 65FPS most of the time, whether in clear flight or smoke filled airfield battle royales, you prolly have a monitor refresh rate limiting you. Do not try to exceed your monitors max refresh rate. But you can disable your vsync in your vid card settings if you want big FPS. I wouldnt recommend it tho. Its not your max frame rate that matters, its your minimum. If you stay over 45FPS all the time, you have won the battle.
