fs9 is too heavy to flight

[Glasgow_Approach]

all well and good but when someone needs to find out what they can do to make fs9 run faster/smoother the answer can never be
(UPGRADE YOUR COMPUTER/PROCESSOR/GRAPHICS/CARD/MEMORY IN FACT JUST BUY A NEW COMPUTER). Its a bit of a cop
out answer dont you think guys.

What is your fs settings, what other add ons are you running. are you using payware planes. Turn off all weather and traffic, turn all
settings down to zero disconnect from the internet and try fspassengers if the load is still too great then you will probably have a problem
with some process doing somthing it shouldnt, perhaps a virus or a virus scanner / firewall. If the load is ok then bring back all your
settings bit by bit till you get the appropriate payoff between performance and quality. Check your hard disk first, if its nearly full then you
will need to delete stuff off it then defragment it.

If your really going to upgrade your hardware then remember fs9 has a way of sucking all possible resources it can lay its hands on,
there is no optimal system for it. The number one upgrade is the processor followed distantly by graphics card and memory. Doing
things such as doubling memory may not work if your processor isnt strong enough because instead of throwing 1 gig around the
processor now throws 2 around which will slow things down.

my spec is this

p4 3.4 800mhz fsb htt on asus p5gd2 deluxe (thinkin of overclockin)
x800xt asus pci-e
1 gig ddr2 5300 ( upgrading to 2 gig)
raptor sata 80gig 10000rpm

all fsgenesis mesh
acive sky
ultimate traffic
fspassengers
all settings maxed(except scenery casting ground shadows)

and it can still get jerky when flying into new york>
