I recently purchased FSX. I aslo have FS9. I am currently getting between 15 - 23fps sitting at Rotterdam airport at the C1 parking area, with the Nederlands NL2000 scenery. In the sky I get between 15 - 45fps. Sometimes it can go a slow as 5fps over heavy area's. Airports seem to be the area which really slow's down my Fps.I have also tested planes with the Bluesky photo scenery and I get between 30 - 60 FPS. I also see my default scenery runs at 25 to 65 FPS.I am looking to Buy ORBX's Aussie scenery and Brisbane Airport. They say ORBX's scsnery runs like the default so i should get above 25 Fps?Someone suggested to get another 2gb of 1333 ram making a total of 4gb of 1333 Ram on my Win Xp system. I understand WinXP will only recognise 3.2 or so of the 4gb Ram.Is this extra ram going to help?Is there ways of making Airports easier on frame rates?I think the Nederlands Scenery might be hard on Frame rates anyway?I was also thinking of overclocking my CPU but I have no experience in this area and I don't want to buy a new CPU if overclocking cuts my cpu's life span in half ect. My Motherboard has a Utility called Easytune6 that can overclock the cpu. It has a quick boost feature that overclocks the cpu:1. 3.2ghz / 1600 FSB2. 3.44ghz / 1720 FSB3. 3.60ghz / 1800 FSBWould this Improve my frame rates without damageing my cpu or making my pc unstable in anyway?Here are my current pc specs:Antec 900 caseGigabyte s775 GA-EP45T-UD3LR core 2 motherboard Intel s775 core 2 Quad core Q9400 Kingston 2gb ddr3 1333 1 stick Antec 1000watt Psu Geforce 8800 Video CardWin xp Pro2x sata hdCheersUly

There is little to no gain when going from 2GB to 4GB on the 32 bit OS. You would need 64bit OS, then it would pay off.
