May 30, 20179 yr My motherboard only allows for a all-in total of 12 GB's of System Ram. I have that installed. Will I benefit from purchasing v4.0, over my v3.4, with that system limit in mind? Thoughts, appreciated... BTW, XP11 which is 64 bits and uses my 12 GB's work quite alright. Was hoping that the coding for P3D v4.0 would do the same... What do you folks think? Ses
May 30, 20179 yr Sure will, 64bit means the 4gig stopper for 32 bit app is gone, so you'll get an extra 8gig of ram, in theory. LM recommends min 4gig 16gig recommended https://www.prepar3d.com/system-requirements/ steve
May 30, 20179 yr NO. The CPU runs it. RAM doesn't run anything. It stores it. Think I'm joking? This is something most programmers would do best to use as a mantra for a while.

So you're thinking that 12 GB's of System Ram, will NOT be able to run v4.0 at mid to high in-sim settings, and with Orbx...custom mesh,blah, blah, with decent in the 30's FPS?
May 30, 20179 yr Moderator 12GB of system ram is quite enough to run well, providing the rest of the machine is up to the task. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
May 30, 20179 yr You should be OK. I think I saw Rob make a post saying he hasn't seen it go over 16GB. But he is running Max settings with a 12GB GPU too.
