i am on a local online selling site, and i am looking for graphic cards and i found this one, its not a nvidia, and they guy said he doesnt know how it would compare to one so i was wondering if someone on here could tell me how good it would work

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.
