Hey guys I need help boosting the FPS I get on my current machine, I get around 27 - 30 FPS in Station with all effects and sound off, (Drop to 10-13 with all that on) and in flight I get about 9 - 12 FPS with the effects on & off. What can I do to boost the FPS I get, All and any suggestions are welcome I'm even wiiling to upgrade hardware if necessary.

-------------------
Mobo: VIA P4MA Pro (Pro Savage Video 32Megs)-I don't use Intgrated Video)
CPU: 1.7 Ghz Celeron 128mb L2 Cache (Socket 478)
RAM: 1.0 GB (2x 512) PC2100

*I just bought recently the ATI card for like $100(USD) in order to play EVE but I keep hear that most ATI are kinda crappy for EVE and was kinda thinking of changing to a nVidia based card what should I do? What should I upgrade next or change? Again any and all suggestions are welcome.....

Damn I wish I knew that before hand, good thing I sent in the $50 rebate, Although I should've read the forums first before buying the card, I'm gonna switch over to nVidia & get a P-IV CPU, thanks for the info.

Ok after a long time of researching and buying I've got a pretty good setup, my proformance went from 9-10 FPS to 27-30FPS. now that a big improvement but unfortunatly I want more so now Im thinking of upgrading my mobo. My current one limits me severely, so I want to move up into a 775 socket mobo mainly to use core 2 duo, now of course its gotta have agp 8x minimum cuz I spent a sizable chunk on the graphics card and I'm very happen with that purchase, (I saw literlly a 300 percent proformance boost across all the games I play) but I now know that my mobo is my biggest and probably have been my main bottleneck in the system, so now after reviving this thread I pose this new question for anyone to answer would it be better to step up to Core Duo 2 or will it be better to move onto a AMD CPU and mobo??
Please be specific/
