Interesting comment from vista team member's blog:We redesigned the memory manager in Windows Vista so that if you give the system more memory, it uses that memory much more efficiently than previous operating systems via a technique called SuperFetch -- part of Windows Vista's intelligent heuristic memory management system. And so Windows Vista on a PC with even more than 1 GB of primary memory (say 2 GB) will generally outperform Windows XP on that same machine -- especially once you have been using the machine for some time because Windows Vista learns what you do the most often and optimizes for this.scott s..

OK, so who's going to be the first try Vista with 16 gig of memory..? See if FSX can be run entirely from memory. My bet is it can't. ;)Allcott

I don't know about FSX. I would like Megascenery or other photo textures to be on the memory....getting rid of Blurries altogether.IF FSX can use 16Gigs.. I'd get 16Gigs.:)Manny

Not that I think any computer hardware or software developer would deceive the consumer, but I'll wait awhile till the real folks (i.e. the people who actually put their money down for the product) weigh in on Vista. Anything we hear or read until they speak is meaningless to me.Greg

Good plan, Greg ;)Allcott
