Flightgear really this slow on XP?

I downloaded and installed FG on a fairly capable XP system (1.6ghz
AMD
256 RAM and a good video card) and was blown away by the frame rate.
Like
one second per frame even in the lower resolution modes?

I shut down all the background tasks I can, task manager shows 99%
free
resources, but hey... this is windows.

I've got to be doing something wrong (besides using XP). What is it?
It's
got to work better than this. How do you get it to run so that it's
not
just a big joke?



I agree with Epi. You need more RAM. 256k is only enough to run XP
and Word. I think you will find that 512k RAM will do a lot for the
frame rate.

That MB should be able to use the older 2100 or 2400 RAM. You can get
a 512 stick for about $50 or less. A 256k stick can be had for cheap,
cheap.
