Well, I am afraid that you will be dissapointed with the performance, true.

Actually, it is the combination of high resolution with high graphics that causes people a lot of problems. Nobody wants to fly anything less than 1600x resolution....

If you stay on the smaller resolutions 1024x you will probably be allright.

I was having the same issues as you. I was running Windows 7 however it was a 32 bit version. Thus I was not utilizing enough of my ram I had available. I updated to the 64 bit version that utilizes all of my ram and I have absolutely no issues anymore. I would look at these two things. Your Windows and the amount of ram you have. I hope this helps you.

One can run this game with pretty crappy hardware but the beauty is when you can max most or everything. Anything less would be like banging Britney Spears wearing a blindfold (you, not her).

Not less than 560 for 1600+ resolutions imho. And for this price range I would recommend to go for an ATI.

It could be more cost effective though to buy a 2nd hand CRT monitor and play in 1024 resolution
