Don't expect a new PC to solve your problems with this broken game.

Why are you posting this when you got good advice from me in another thread
and you didn't follow it.
You have software conflict somewhere.

There are lot of pilots flying on PC's much weaker then yours.
Macro was one of them, he was running this sim on dual core and 560
and upgraded recently CPU and MoBo.

Edit: going Win 7 64bit would be the first step.

@ptwparkinson
You could lower your resolution a bit and lower settings toward mid range
because your PC is old( few years before sim came out).

If Slipstream see this thread he could help you a lot with settings
because he is flying on the similar PC without a problem.
