the problem with laptops is that there isn't really much room for upgrading hardware... you could tell us it's make and model... since some laptops have more room for upgrading than others

apart from changing hardware, there are a number of tweaks you can do to FSX that'll make it lighter on your rig... but i'm not the one to ask about such things... there are others here that are definite experts in FS tweaking, and they can answer that question much better than i can

Cheers

As far as I know, only high end laptops have expansion slots and most Acer's are not high end. Sorry, looks like you're out of luck... :(

Have you tried messing with the graphics settings in fs9. A lot of times you can get some extra performance just by tweaking in there.  Or if you find it is running very smooth and consistent you could make it look better, too.
