I get similar reactions with my system. I only have 512Mb in my Dell 2.6 with Geforce4MX420. Has a real hard time at some airports, but runs fine at high level. I get 20FPS in clear skies, but will crash after a short flight on finals if I have VC open or GPS. I assume it's the same problem as FS9 in that the program (remembers) every thing you do in the flight and runs your pc out of virtual memory. I increased the VM to a few gigs of HD space and it's ok for light aircraft. I'm adding another 1/2gb stick and waiting for a DX10 card to see if I can still get a half decent approach on visual.

Yup, modern day programs suck up the memory after a while. Glad to hear you got it semi-fixed.

Well, with 512MB your not really getting far nowadays with anything. I got 1024MB and should seriously upgrade for all the apps that use the memory.

i have 1024mb of RAM and 512mb of video memory, i think the VC freezing was just due to FSX being FSX, bugs and things. aint had any problems like that since so nevermind
