ITS an P3-800mgz and 64nvidia card sure with 64x2video graphic memory,yes its true and a poor machine,and i swear my friend i dont have any problem with grafic at all,in display high,weather full cloud density
i even force and add more scenery complexity,and the program work fine,no visual frame rates,exelent grafics

On you ATI card settings, adjust the sliders higher.  Granted the crisper the graphics, the FPS go down.  But you can find a happy medium I am sure.  I am not sure if the sliders are the same as my card, but I have the AA around 4 and the Aneospheric thingy around 8.

Also if you open up the FS9.cfg file, you can edit the parameters under the display settings.  Expand the radius so that the textures appear more clear around you and tapper off in the distance.

In the game I don't set my Mip levels more than 4.  5 and higher do give me a headache also. ;D
