RADEON 9200 Series DDR x86/SSE2

my computer meets all the other requirements to run it and i just had the card put in on saturday

Hmm isn't the Radeon 9200 from year 2003 or something like that ?
If this is really the case, I would strongly suggest you to forget about FSX. :/

There is no such thing as "Overkill" when it comes to graphics cards.  I went for "cheap" at first on my old computer, then worked my way up, and ended up wasting a lot of buckaroos before the lightbulb went on, and I went for "expensive".  In the end, it's best to go big or stay home, even if you have to save up for a couple of weeks or months.

Hi Derek, you'll have to turn the quality down a lot.
Until christmas I had a radeon 9250 which was new with the pc in 2005.
My processor in the pc is a 3.2GHZ and that helped it cope, now replaced video card with latest agp 1gb card and changed memory to 2gb (5 weeks ago the wife treated me to a new laptop but the PC is still far from the quality of a modern laptop..

I hope you didn't spend much on the graphics card.

As an example, near to Logan international

it was $79 at staples im considering on getting a new processer put in also i borrowed my brothers delux version just to see if it would run and it ran but i was averaging 8-10 fps on medium low settings

Thats what I had. It ran, just not very well

fs2004 runs great i can get it on ultra high settings and i get between 30-35 fps

It's only 128mb isn't it ??

I would have thought that even FS2004 would struggle with that low setting ??
