Everything you have is quite low. First call would be to upgrade the graphics card I would say and then RAM and processor. It can be run, but all sliders will have to be very low and you may be better off buying FS8 because it is less graphically intense. Let us know of your decision Wink

You have a nice system there but your video card needs to be upgraded aswell as the RAM. You have sufficient RAM but 1 gig would be alot better aswell as a new graphics card. I have the FX5200 and it really is not great, but I still have reasonable FPS, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it Wink

Well you are low on graphics card ram and on systems ram.Maybe you will have some problems in running FS9 which reqiures some more extra power that your system could gives.

99jollegg has already answer to others questions very well.Take a look in his advices.

It'll run but not very well, you'll have to run it at less than default settings.
Your CPU is very good but you need a 128mb video card and 1 gig of ram to have it run beautifully.
