A question about video/graphic cards?

Ok, yesterday I bought Flight Simulator X, but my PC seems to have difficulty playing the game. I have checked my Memory RAM to see if it was good enough and it was - but I'm not sure about my graphic/video card! It's a Radeon X600 and I was wondering if anyone knew if this card was good enough for Flight Simulator? I also checked the Minimum System Requirements for Flight Simulator X and it said "Video Card: 32MB DirectX 9 compatible." So does anyone know if my card is good enough for this game or if there's a way for me to find out on PC?

Answers:
From the manufacturer's site:
"Radeon X600 supports the newest games and is fully compatible with Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 to ensure you are ready for all the action today and with tomorrow’s titles."

So it should be ok with Flight Sim. I think that card is getting a bit old though so you might get better performance from a newer card.
get a 256 mb video card for about 50 usd and it support most of new games
If you ment Microsoft Directx 9.0, then it should be ok. Maybe if you close everything off on your PC before you start, or if you try going into the games options and check the resouliton (something close to that.) Just mess with some of the options, but make sure to remember what they were in the begining.
I agree with Legolas.. spend 50 to 100 bucks and your games will run very smooth.. the x600 is a very basic card..

Which ever card you buy make sure it is Direct X 10 compatible..
