NGX vs my computer

Yes, Don't Worry! You might want to try getting a noctua NH-D14 Cooler and overclocking to get better performance, but that's about it

Don't see why not. It runs really good on my Vista 32-bit, Core2Duo 2Ghz laptop....really (after much tweaking to cut down on memory usage)! You should have zero trouble with running it on your rig.

I'm at the office and away from my FSX PC, so I can't give precise details...but I did the following:1. Put in the recommended FSX.cfg settings in the intro manual (already had the HIGHMEM line in, but didn't have the 4096 thing). Made sure in-game FSX settings matched settings listed in Intro manual.2. Turned off plane-produced shadows.3. Stepped autogen down to sparse.4. Used an external frame-limiter (the .bat file one) - never needed one before (with MD-11 or J41, but it helped with NGX)5. Defragged hard drive6. Closely examined the services running on my system and halted those that were hogging memory (anti-virus, indexing service, 3rd party application updaters, etc). I run FSX with ASE (both of which are using X-Graphics enhancements) and Air Hauler. I launch ASE first, then FSX (via the frame limiter bat), and then Air Hauler, which I have set to allow manual loading. I'll get my mission setup in Air Hauler, then open up FSBuild to get my flightplan setup and exported...then I close FSBuild. I finish cargo/full load planning in Air Hauler (I flip between it and FSX so I can match up the loads in the FMC) and launch the mission, minimizing Air Hauler once it's flight monitor is running. Then I get going with pre-flight in FSX (I flip it to full screen view). During my session in FSX, I am careful to not go fooling around with anything not directly related to FSX (browsing the net or doing anything else that takes memory)...that's what my MacBook sitting beside the PC is for (with all NGX manuals loaded on it). ;) Doing all of that, I've managed to keep memory usage under 90%, even with crappy weather in FSX. I probably got 10+ medium-long distance flights in over this past weekend without any crashes or OOM errors. I did have one instance where the external view was starting to not load the textures (while sitting on the ground between flights), so I simply restarted FSX and carried on. Now my PC is NOT the primary computer in the house...it's JUST for FSX and SSM 2007, so I don't have to do anything else with it other than FSX stuff. I think if one starts dinking around with the internet, email, and other stuff during an NGX flight, they're asking for trouble. ;)

Many thanks Scott. That was a very detailed explanation. Cheers :)
