You should upgrade the RAM to 512 and you won't have any serious problems.
I'm running a PIII 1GHz with 512mb SD-RAM, and a Ti4600 and getting good returns in FS9 on Windows XP Pro ;)

Should be no problem, i have win 98, it needs less ram, you think it may work ?

Go to the freeware screenshots forum and take a look at some of my pictures there, the most recent thread is Sushi at Shoreham ;)

Yeah, thanks ozzy, it looks quite well there. Are the frames ok ?
On Fs2002 it gets slow sometimes on my pc.
Thanks again.

If I fly into Heathrow with all sliders maxed (including AI), then FPS can drop as low as 8, but for normal hooning around I run at around 20-30 FPS no problem 8)

I have pretty much the exact same system and everything runs fine. I find sometimes mine runs slow but that's because I have a lot of complex addons. Take a look at any of my screenshots too if you wish.
