New help with something odd

[MFC_Goose]

Ok for your computer parts never buy in store. They over price. I suggest buying from http://www.Tigerdirect.com. They have every computer part
that you can think of. Once you find out what kind of mother board you have you can determine your processor options. As for the video
card check the slots and find out what you have. PCI-E is the best at the moment but sounds like at best you'll have a PCI slot. Its the
white ones if you have any. Tiger Direct has video cards that will fit in this slot and are capable of running FSX but it wont be amazing. I
run the Nvidia 6200 Turbocache 256Mb on my machine (PCI-E) and it runs FSX at 20fps (what i have it locked at) with nice graphics. For
added speed for your computer look into faster hard drives (check the buffer memory size it actually affects how fast you can access
whats stored on your hard drive.), more RAM (memory), faster processors, and better video card (most onboards share RAM with the
motheboard, having a stand alone card with its own RAM will make video smoother.) I know you asked for MODS only but i am an A+
certified technician as im sure some of these people are. Also you said you have an E-Machine ands its a bit old, you will probally need to
upgrade the power supply to support added peripherals. The older emachines had a problem with not having power supplies big
enough to power anything more than what came on them from the factory. Thats about all i can think of right now. Just buy a new
computer, that would solve most of the problem. I hope some of this helped, i didnt read all the way through to see if you had gotten your
answer yet. Oh and you can download DirectX 10 to most any graphics card, it should work on that one you have.
