I would be very greatful if someone could let me know where my weak spot is in my pc for running fs2004 as it runs jerky even when on low settings. my system is as follows. oh and i do not know what any of this means. any advice would be very appreciated THANKS
microsft xp
Pentium 4 515
2.93 GHz clock speed
533 MHz front bus speed
1024 kB cache
ATI Radeon X300 (RV370 SE LP) Graphics Card (128 MB DDR + TV-Out)
Sunshine (GA-8I915PM Ver 1.1)

My Guess is that you also have only 512MB of RAM. This is what is killing you.FS9 needs 700MB to run, so you don't even have that, not to mention that X300 is a RAM eater. So while you have the processor to handle it at med/high settings, your lac of RAM and your bottom tier GPU are holding you back. Spend $100 on a decent 1GB kit of RAM. That should allow you to run FS9 at Med/High at 25FPS (which it should be locked to anyway)
