My Dad's rig is as above with one stick of 512mb DDR.

He plays MS Train Simulator.

On max detail with 2x AA and AF his frame rates are poor (15). Without AA etc, they are still not great (20).

I reckon that his 5200 is toilet and he should upgrade it.

The question is, what should he go for? I'm thinking approx 100 quid.

Also, would he benefit from another 512 stick?

Thanks a lot. I only need chipsets, not exact models.
