The web is FULL of misinformation - I suppose people post what they think is true. No need to be so aggressive with the fellow.In th end I bit the bullet and bought a new PC, specs below, so I shouldn't get OoM errors any more (in theory!),Martin

atleast I get to learn new things and new problems by posting "CRAP" if you like it that way Sir...

You're right about that Altstiff - I got so frustrated with low frame rates when flying PMDG 747s etc. into Heathrow/Los Angeles etc. (all 'heavy' addons) that I'd go to bed feeling quite depressed!! (OoMs became inevitable when flying certain a/c into certain airports - I just reloaded the flight with AutoSave and carried on), Last week I decided it wasn't worth the 'pain' and as I said, have just spent not too far short £2000 on a new PC for FS. I am half way through getting my highly-tweaked FS installation back on it. I hope and pray the results will be worth the outlay and I can sleep happy at night again!!Martin

Nickksy, I did not intend for my post to come off as aggressive, if it came off that way it was not intentional. The last thing I want to do is make things tense on the forum here of all places. I too hate to see people behave this way (and we do see this often).OOM errors are a very common thing with simmers and sending a person down the wrong road with the wrong information makes OOM errors even more annoying I think.I am no expert but I have had my share of them over the years and have looked into how to fix it. That is all I was trying to point out here. :( For me the fix was a 64bit O/S.
