Video card to support new AFP Delux flight simulator

[randy home email]

I have different computers with the nVidia video cards with 64, 128 and 
256 MB of video RAM.  The last is an over-clocked model.  Yes it makes 
things sing, but it is hard to tell the difference when using my real 
flight program.  But I have been running into programs that will not 
install if you have less than 64MB; so I would upgrade from the 32MB card.
