    You should maybe look into upgrading to a quad core processor. Afaik those flight sims are pretty cpu intensive.

    If you got something like this second hand and overclocked it then it should improve performance a fair bit.

    You could probably get about €30 for yours so it would be a cheap upgrade.

    You could see how that goes. That graphics card ain't the may west though. You may need a graphics card update as well.

    You'd need to give us the model of the motherboard and see if can be overclocked?
