When I bought 737NG last weekend I had all sort of frame rate problems. I was using a P4 2.53 TI4600 Ultra with 512 RAM. After reading the comments in the forum about memory I decide to install another 512Meg. Know my system has 1Gig 333mhx DDR RAM. ALL THE PROBLEMS HAS GONE (expect for the know bugs) The frame rate is silky smooth (better than DF 737) you cannot believe the difference it makes. RAM is cheap at the moment so its worth the upgrade to fly such a fine plane.Ops Sys Windows XP ProfessionalAndrew.

Compared to other aircraft with similar gauges like the Meridian though (unless PMDG is doing something with their's that's completely different) the memory usuage is really high. I'm not gonna go buy an extra 512MB for my aging Athlon system when I'm gonna be upgrading to a brand new P4 rig before the end of the year...Ryan

Hi Andrew,I've got 1GB of Ram as well, and have no problems - but that's not the issue here. The issue is that somehow the software is using up memory unneccessarily, and that should be (and will be) addressed. It is simply a question of optimzing the software (which PMDG are doing), rather than just saying 'Increase your RAM and you'll be fine' - if every software developer were to take that attitude, my computer would come to a grinding halt quite soon, as my motherboard only supports 3GB of RAM.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Having to buy new hardware on a good PC to solve the problem is not the way to go!

Guys, this issue will go away real soon, trust me ;) [h5]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smith[/h5][h6]The Next Great one?

Randy Ok I'll trust you lol :-)Andr

Definately will go away.....:D

Sounds really good! I can

Depends on the RAM type Andrew. Those of us with PC800 don't think it's so cheap :-) . BTW, I have essentially the same system and have no framerate issues at all with 512MB.

hi, It looks like my Vc/ 2d panel framerate problems are completely gone now that I upgraded to Windows 2000 pro :-) (from windows me). Windows 2000 seems to be using all my memory more efficiently.Andrew
