That card is almost 10 years old.  The only reason to buy it would beif you like to collect old, useless computer parts or for sentimental reasons .  Tell us about your system specs and I'm sure someone can help you find a better, affordable card.

oh ok never mind x]

i dont know if i have good spes. my dad built it a few years ago.i know my graphic card is horrible, thats why i want a new one. but here they are

AMD sempron processor 2800+
1.5 gig of RAM
1.6 ghz
nvidia 5500 geforce

but i want one thats like 100$ or lower

With that combination of memory, video card and processor you`re really wasting your time trying to improve it.  Better to hang on to the money and put it toward a more modern machine as and when you can.  FSX is very processor reliant and the Semperon is a cut down processor, not very powerful (I have one in my laptop).  Memory wants to be 2gig upwards, preferably 3 gig and then start thinking about a video card upgrade.  With that setup, whatever video card you get is going to be throttled by the processor, probably the PSU too to a certain extent.  I would not waste money on it for limited improvements, not when newer machines are at such an all time low price.

I haven`t got a top machine but only spent

ok, ill tkae that into consideration.
i might be getting a job soon [my first, im 15 haha] so ill try to save up and buy a gaming omputer because i saw some for about 500$

Good luck mate, I really hope you get there.  A lot of fun can be had with FSX and it needn`t cost the earth at all.
