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.

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 :agree:](./images/smilies/045.gif)
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
![banging head off wall :wall:](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)
so obviously there is something else going on
I just mention it as an increase in RAM is not always a fix for any sluggish performance

Garry ,
tried going into msconfig amd services.msc in RUN to see what be running in the background?
btw
if your getting "FJM" at 3 to 6 fps ... that would be normal
if it's any consolation..... I smashed my finger with a hammer today

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
![Cry :'(](./images/smilies/010.gif)
.....It appears to be something up with the graphic card or driver
btw...what's FJM??

This doesn't work for 64 bit W7 does it?
I'm always looking for some way to stop random CTDs.

Nope, it only works on 32bit systems.
