Hello!

 

I have a few questions about PMDG 777 before buying it :

 

1. What's RAM usage in Windows Task Manager in PMDG 777?

2. Is it the same as 737NGX for System Specs?

3. Will it be enough with 8GB of RAM (Including payware sceneries)?

1..Dunno

2..AFAIK yes

3..Should be, I run with only 6GB and rarely get OOM errors, of course YMMV.

You will not get OOM's because you run out of RAM. It is to do with VAS

Have you ever had OOM's with 8GB of RAM on your system?

[Don t moderate me this way 882]

OOMs are related to Virtual Address Space, not to physical RAM. 8 GB RAM is perfectly o.k. with a 64 bit OS like Windows7.

 

System specs for the T7 specifically you can find on the PMDG website. Generally speaking, if you can run the NGX, you can run the T7 as well.

Yes I know, cheers.

I checked his PC spec and he has a 32-bit W7. presumably that changes things.

Yep, thanks Ray, that's little more than 3 GB maximum VAS with the T7 consuming up to 400 MB more of it than the NGX. Delta between NGX/64bit and T7/32bit is 1.1 GB at least.

 

Best to go for a 64bit W7 OS. 8 GB physical RAM should be fine for that.

I'm planning to change my PC :

 

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Intel Core i5 3570K 3.3Ghz to 4.3Ghz

ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB

Kingston HyperX RAM 8GB 1600Mhz

Western Digital 1TB

Make that HDD a fast one ...

That PC will run it just fine.  It's pretty similar to mine.

I have 16GB on my system, and i had 3 or 4 OOM's. You can have 8GB or 32GB is the same thing, FSX is 4GB limited. But 8GB is the minimum recommended (4GB for FSX, and the rest for all other tasks)

With W7 the RAM utilization goes to about 6 GB, 7 GB with the VoxATC SAPI voices *.exe. (1.2 GB on its own!)

 

4 GB is too little, next best thing is to double that and get 8 GB.
