Install the latest mobo chipset drivers, again. Verify their date and
version after installation.

6800 GTX graphics card. AGP.


Install the latest (current) Forceware drivers for Windows XP and the
6800 AGP.


Windoze XP No known service packs installed.


SP2 is a very good idea. It has gaming fixes as well in DirectX, if that
helps convince you. If your delay from adopting SP2 is that your copy of
XP is bogus, you can find SP2 boot images everywhere, I'd rather you
have a more internet secured (SP2) fake copy than a less internet
secured (Sp Zero) fake copy.

I am running Flight Sim 9 (2004) and was getting 30-ish Frames /
second.

One day the power supply died. Alas I didn't know that until I had
done other stupid things and re-set the BIOS.


Check each and every BIOS setting again, Cache nothing, set AGP aperture
to 128M. Check your cool-n-quiet settings and frequencies.



Everyone is telling me to install the LATEST Nvidia drivers.


It will not only give you the most current version, complete with
potential issue resolutions, but also allows an over write of a
potentially corrupted prior installation, whereas a same version install
might not overwrite the critical bit.

Make sure you force antialiasing off in all locations while testing, FS9
does not play well with antialiasing, also, DL FS9.1 (or whatever the
current version is). HTH
