In all honesty Jim,................ not much at all !!
You really will need to invest in a 3D Video Card for your machine. On-board graphics just cant cut it with stuff like FS.

Jim, if you've got the newer Intel GMA X3100 (not the earlier GMA 950), then you might like to give X-Plane a try. It's not nearly as demanding as MSFS. You can get the demo at http://www.x-plane.com/beta.html (download the installer and give it a whirl).

It still won't be as good a separate 3D video card, but I've heard that some X-Plane users are finding success.

Hi Jim,

I think you'll easily be able to run most AFCAD-type sceneries without many issues. Your frames may take a hit if you try to install some of the massively detailed freeware (or payware) products out there. You should download and try some to see (in a trial and error sort of way) what sort of performance you can get when the squeeze is put on.

Are there any specific areas you are interested in?

Alex

PS; nVidia GeForce 7950GT (PCIe)

my laptop has a simple nVidia 8400.

Try MACH-1 scenery as their scenery is quite processor and graphics friendly

It depends on the hardware you're matching it to. How old, or more exactly - what motherboard/CPU setup, do you have?
