Hi, I am planning to upgrade my sound and graphics cards and I would like some suggestions on what I should buy. What I want is to run FS2002 with full settings and have acceptable to good frame rate and also to fly online so maybe the most important is the grapics card as the sound card should just be a full duplex one.
My current system is a Celeron 1.7, 512RAM-DDR (256MHxz). My currents cards are a SB128 and GeForce2MX (64MB).
Thanks for any suggestion.

I used to have a 1.7 Celeron, adding my GeForce FX5600 truly transformed it! although, the CPU could'nt drive the card to its true capabilities......
CFS3 Ran like a dog, and does on my new system!
FS2002 was great!
If you really want great FPS rates @ Full settings, then your really looking at a Pentium4 2ghz+ and Ideally, an FX5950 Ultra or Top line Ati 9800. - Little change from

More or less you suggest what I had in mind (FX5700 and Audigy). Obviously is a good suggestion for a not-expensive solution. Thanks for the ideas.
