Have More Than 2GB of Memory?

Post by FlyTexas »

This might help improve the performance of FS2004/FSX. I installed this app and updated my FS9.exe only to realize that I only have 2GB of memory. :doh:

It won't see the 3GBs unless you do the 3G update fix...Unless you are using Windows7 of course :)

I realise that Peter :agree: and it was for other reasons I went to 3, but I never saw an improvement when I went briefly to 2GB ( mentioned there was no difference between 1 and 3)...one of the RAMs was faulty so I had to wait three weeks for a replacement :'(

I get between 3-6 FPS with a flickery jerky motion and run out of virtual memory at least once daily :wall: so obviously there is something else going on :worried:

I just mention it as an increase in RAM is not always a fix for any sluggish performance *-)

Hi Joe

I've checked what's running and tirning everything I can off makes no difference at all :((

Not just FS.

I'm having trouble with Video clip and Photoshop :'( .....It appears to be something up with the graphic card or driver :dunno:

btw...what's FJM?? :stupid:

This doesn't work for 64 bit W7 does it? :hide:

I'm always looking for some way to stop random CTDs.

Nope, it only works on 32bit systems. :(
