Default Is anybody using a HP with realflight?

Your HP probably has onboard video (built into the motherboard, not a separate card), and probably has an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot available. An AGP slot is a smaller brown slot, and it will be above all of the white pci slots. You would be much better off getting an AGP card if you have you have a slot available. As far as which card, I would suggest one of the following video chips:

$49 - GeForce2 MX400 64MB
$48 - GeForce2 MX400 32MB
$41 - GeForce2 MX200 64MB
$30 - GeForce2 MX200 32MB
$48 - GeForce2 GTS 32MB

These are current prices (in $USD) from pricewatch.com. You will have to check which vendors ship internationally, and be sure to confirm the shipping costs. The MX400 is a bit more powerfull that the MX200, and the cost difference is small.


What is the model number of your HP? Maybe I could give you a little more help.
