PC Memory Issues with PMDG NG - Is this a fix ?

In recent days, my PC has started to seize up (freeze initially and then slow down massively, or crash FS9 and then corrupt the current Windows XP session) during flights and replays with the PMDG 737 NG loaded. That a/c uses between 550MB and 710MB of RAM on my DELL P4, 2.53Ghz, RDRAM 1024. Normally FS9 uses 250-300MB on my machine and runs beautifully and fluidly.I think a lot of the additional RAM usage goes to process textures in the VC (quite a killer on frames)and cockpit gauge processing and display, and frequent switching of views using this a/c seems to have an adverse impact.Anyway, I found an article by Microsoft, article ID 308417, July 14, 2004, Revision 3.1, that might fix this. The article discusses managing processor time, and computer memory. As a result, I've changed my default Page File size from a maximum of 1534MB to 2000MB (I have 45 GByte free on the HD). I hope this works.I am posting to try and be of some use to others because I know I'm not the only person with this problem.Let's wish ourselves luck with this move. I'll report back on the results.JS
