I have a pentium 4 , 2.6Gig computer with one of those built into the motherboard graphic chips
60 meg allocated to graphics from main ram
Available Ram is 750 meg
With this set up with all sliders at 3/4 I average about 12-15 frames which is just bearable.
Any clouds or busy airports and the rate drops to about 8 fps.
Our local computer store is selling the Radeon 9250 with 128 meg for about $50 US dollars
A 256 meg version is abour $70 US installed.
Any comments appreciated as to how much this system might improve the frame rates... especially from other Radon users.
Or should I consider some of the other brands of video cards
With all the addonons - planes , mesh etc I need something better than my built in chip.
All advice welcome
Thank you
Rob
