Great System

But firstly, get some faster RAM. I don't think that DDR333 can cut it with an A64 3200+

Also, what AA and AF settings do you have on?

Did you uninstall the old drivers when you replaced the card?
Did you do a fresh install of windows when you installed the card?
Have you installed the motherboard drivers?
How come you are using PC2700 ram with that processor as the ram runs at 166Mhz while the processor runs at 200Mhz.

Try this turn AA down to 4X and AF down to 8X
Make sure the option for anti aliasing is unticked in flight sim.

Also what resolution are you running at?

Go to the start menu and then click on run and then type dxdiag then click on the tab that says DirectX files. If there are any problems reported I recommend a reinstall of directx 9b.



To turn down the AA and AF go to the desktop and

right click>Properties>Settings tab>Advanced

there shold then be a tab called 3D. Try turning down the AA to 4X and AF to 8X.

Go for 1 GB DDR400 RAM - turn down to 8 x AF - turn down sight and cloud draw distance to ~50% and it will run like a dream !  :o

Have you ctrl-alt-delete then closed any unnecessary programs when running flightsim?
What are your voltages like, do you use a program to monitor them like MBM5 available from here:

http://mbm.livewiredev.com/

Also have you checked your system for viruses, spyware, adware?

I use the following programs to keep my system clean.

Lavasoft Adaware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Nod32 Virus scanner.
