Ok so my PC specs are:
AMD Athlon 11x4 620 processor, clocked at 2.6 GHZ, cache size 2048
Ive got 81.39% (583GB) of memory left to use
My graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD3200 Graphics 256MB
Im not computer smart so all advice to help me make my FSX better will help.
I figured I fly way to much to have a mediocre graphics and frames.
Thanks

Just to clarify, the "memory" that you mention is your disk drive..correct? What would be helpful is if you could tell us how much RAM (random access memory) is in your computer.

After a quick check on the video card, it looks like it's on the lower end of the scale. My guess is a better graphics card would help, but Im not up on the latest and greatest. I'm sure someone else will chime in with a suggestion or 5.

To get better FPS,there is no way around a fast CPU. 2.6 gHz is unfortunately very slow. Those pilots running FSX quite well, usually have an i7 clocked at >4.0gHz.
So, a new CPU or overclock the one you have. A better GFX card will help a little,but not even close to as for other games.
