When you say Quad core are you talking CORE 2 Quad or i7? Also what OS are you using? If you're using anything other than a 64bit OS, 4GB is the max you'll be able to get any performance gain from. In fact, doubt you'll see any performance gain from FSX with additional memory anyway since it's CPU reliant.

A fast hard drive helps. I use a 10,000 rpm model that reduces the latency time to load scenery. A lot depends on the nature of the stutter, simply moving the dials towards the left helps more than anything else.

Get a Solid State Drive if you can afford it. Otherwise get a nice cooler and overclock your CPU.

FSX can't use more than 4GB of RAM, even in a 64bit OS, so no I would say that's probably not the root issue. It could be the GPU though, how much RAM is on it?
