This one should handle FSX quite easily: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127686

So how would you install these? What would it affect?

Also, I was thinking about a external hard drive. How and what would they affect on my computer? How would you connect these too? Do they have compatibility with FSX?

I know i am not an expert.

Here is a link of a good lokkin hard drive:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822165479

I currentl have a stock Toshiba Satellite L505. its 2.0 ghz and average memory. Its game system number is 3.2. I was looking to get an flash memory card and either an graphics card or an external hard drive. So which one would bring me more performance? Happy Thanksgiving!

Search YouTube for how to install a video card. There are lots of tutorial videos.

To make a big improvement in FSX's performance, you'd probably need to upgrade every part of your laptop. I recommend saving up some money to just buy a new one.
