I have an ATI Radeon 7500 4X AGP card from Summer 2002. The computer took a massive dump and the card came out. Is it still useable; can I get updated drivers so as to eventually use the card in a flightsims-only machine? Thanks.

Well technically speeking yes. Your computer should have only fried your HDDs and optical drives. You can get updated drivers etc, but I would suggest getting a new card. The 7500 is far outdated, and not even a DX9 card, rendering it basically useless in FS9. It may do fine in FS8 (and I stress mabe). Personally I would just say start from scratch. If you want I can quote you for a system that will run about $1100

That's what I thought...
And how does that dumb penguin know on what system I'm running?
