I am no expert on FSX but I have just installed RAM memory. I removed my existing 2GB and put 4GB of a faster (shorter) latency RAM from a different mfg. I had 2GB of Corsair TwinX DDR3 CL9 and replaced it with Kingston HyperX 4GB CL7. The system runs better overall and FSX also runs better in Win7 64. I do not believe you would want to re-install FSX just by changing RAM. FSX has not behaved oddly or worse since I changed my RAM, and in fact, runs better. However, I still have issues with CTDs when playing with the menus but this has nothing to do with changing RAM but a known and nasty issue in Win7 and FSX.Hope this helps.John I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo" CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, socket 775/3GHz/1333MHz bus/6MB cache MOBO: Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n/Intel X38 chipset RAM: 4GB Kingston HyperX 1333MHz. rated 7-7-7-20, matched pair (2 x 2GB) GRAPHICS: Sapphire Radeon 5770HD 1GB (w/ fan) MONITOR: Samsung 24", 2494HM LCD wide-screen 1920x1080 SOUND: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS HARD DRIVES: 1xWestern Digital WD1600JD SATA 160GB (primary/Windows XP and system boot drive) 1xWestern Digital WD3200AAJS SATA2 320GB (secondary/Flight Simulator 2004 running off WinXP Pro 32-bit, games video editing drive) 1xWestern Digital 500GB Black series SATA2 (Windows 7 64-bit: FSX is running off Win7; Windows XP Professional 32-bit) CASE: Antec Sonata III 500W OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit for FSX; Windows XP Pro 32-bit for other things.
