February 3, 200521 yr Hello Tony,You will see an improvement on how fast you load the Sim or any other program, your computer will seem to react quicker but you won't see any impact on frames or stutters that are CPU (and GPU) related.If you need any help or advise on upgrading your PC feel free to ask as it is my profession.regardsDavid in Jerusalem - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
February 5, 200521 yr Waste of $$ for FS. Unless you have a defect somewhere causing a memory leak, you should have ample memory to run anything in FS. If you have stutters, or other issues and are willing to spend $$ to improve this, do consider FS-GS services. You will get the most from your machine guaranteed, or you pay nothing.Noel Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

February 5, 200521 yr The recent computer I built for my Flight Simulator (life-size with movable gages and etc) has 2 GB 533 Mhz DDR2 memory in it. I figured why not. If you've got the money to spend, might as well. Memory is quite a bit helpful, but I'd rather shuffle my money into a nice phat video card instead. 1GB is more than sufficient, it all depends on how your computer is optimized. There's some great guides posted in the hardware forum about optimization.

February 7, 200521 yr Author Hi Bruce,that is interesting,my system is a xps gen4 3.4ee,x850xtpe-pci-e,1gb ram,10000 rpm hd.i have been planning to return this system and only have a few more days to decide and was offered another gig of ram as incentive to keep the rig.the performance has been dissapointing,the stutters,frames all over the place no matter what drivers or settings.this is the first time i have read that 2gb could help with stutters,would you have an opinion on my situation.thanks.
