February 9, 200719 yr As part of an upgrade I'm considering changing from 1GB to 2GB of RAM.Or would 3GB or even 4GB give better results?In case it's relevant perhaps I should mention that I'll be changing to "Vista" at the same time.Cliff
February 9, 200719 yr Considering that Vista reportedly likes to wallow in 1GB RAM all by its lonesome and that FSX is happier in a 2GB sandpit than with 1GB, then 3GB would get you there nicely and 4GB would buy you a little future proofing for when FSX addons come to town in strength.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
February 9, 200719 yr 3-4 gb would be the sweet spot on vista/fsx as vista can actually utilize it. Core i7 920 @ 4.2Ghz on Water, eVGA Classified x58, 12 GB Corsair Dominator GT @ 2000mhz, Radeon HD 5870 1GB, (4) 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD's in RAID 0, X-Fi Titanium Sound, Galaxy DXX 1kW PSU, Windows Vista x64, Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speakers
February 13, 200719 yr From everything I've read, 2GB max for XP, and load memory in 1GB pairs for Vista would be your best bet, so 4GB is your next step if you are using Vista. Well, I suppose you could go for 2 1GB and 2 512 MB, but might as well go for 4 GB if you are going for 3 GB. But first make sure your motherboard supports this.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180 Tom Perry
