Paul,
I think the new copy of XP is the least of your worries. From what I've seen on various forums.... don't bother with just a card unless your rig is already THE top end available now.
You likely will not be happy with the performance otherwise.
best,

...mmm.....continuing with SP1 is probably not a very good idea.............think of all those security "holes" that Mr Gates has been kindly filling with updates but which he has decided in his ultimate wisdom not to plug anymore! ....doesn't that bother you Fozz my old?

I will no longer need my trusty AVG anti-virus program which has served me well for many years, (with its daily upgrades), and I can forget Spybot, Spyware Blaster, etc, which always protected me from those nasty Adware and Trojan folks....

By the way, I still can't figure out why a SP2 (security upgrade!) would affect the installation and running of an ordinary computer game like FSX...??
As far as I can remember, it didn't affect the installation and running of FS 2002 or FS 2004, so what is so different with FSX, I wonder..?

The "security upgrade" parts of SP2 have absolutely nothing to do with FSX. There's plethora other "fiddly bits" in SP2 that FSX needs to access for various reasons, none of which have diddly-squat to do with "security."

That's all very well but the point is he already has XP Pro. Why should he have to buy another copy just to run a piece of software that might not run very well on his PC anyway?
