Hi,

Because your CPU is only 700mhz, you'll probably need to turn the settings down a lot. The Mx440 is not strong, but it's ok. Your RAM is ok.

Make sure you don't enable antialiasing in the game or in the driver settings for the video card.

try 800x600x16 resolution if its still slow.

I don't understand why you only have a 700mhz Duron,
That mainboard is for XP CPU's at 333mhz Front side bus speed!!!! (ie. AMD XP2600+)
:o

Do a search for fs9.cfg and edit what you changed in there.

If you have Win XP, it is in c:/documents and settings/Your Account Name/application data/microsoft/FS9 ......... fs9.cfg is the file to DELETE. (unless you can edit out the bad change)

The next time you run the game, it will write a new config file to replace it. Then you will have to set your settings up again.

If you do buy a new CPU, don't get the 2400+, as they are only a 266mhz chip, get one that runs at 333mhz front side bus speed to suit your mainboard.

The 2500 Barton is the weakest of them all at 1.83 ghz.
non barton 2600+ is 2.09 ghz

The Non-Barton cores (2600 and up) are actually faster in clock speed than their Barton sisters and do the job just fine for a good price.

You forget the Bartons have double the cache the thorough-breds do.
