Hi Folks,

Following on from: http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8665 I am need of a graphics card. I am currently driving an HP Pavillion 2GB RAM, E2200 2.20Ghz Intel CPU BUT with only 8MB onboard graphics. It runs FS2004 reasonably well locked at 20fps but the display has a few issues and doesn't handle complex graphics all that well. Now for the hard part, I'm unemployed at the moment so do not have a heap of coin. In fact none, which is why I am looking for jobs, watching cricket and flying planes again. Can anyone help us out with a second hand PCI-e card? 64MB would be heaps.

How much do you have to spend? I have my old ATI card sitting at home gathering dust (as well as 1 Gig of RAM (4x 256MB))...from memory it is 128MB onboard but listed as 256 MB as it uses 128MB of RAM too (which is why I got it....didnt realise it was only 128 MB)

(edit: ATI card, not AMD)
