Here's the problem ........ I keep getting an error "out of memory restart FSX." I cant understand why as I'm running 4 gig of memory on Windows7

Here's the setup.
3.40 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 965
4gb DDR2 800mhz memory
ATI HD 3870 512mb

Any thoughts/suggestions as to a solution gratefully accepted.

cheers

Scroll down to this section:

USING MORE/LESS or EQUAL to 2GIGS OF SYSTEM MEMORY IN WINDOWS XP x32 OR VISTA X32 with OOM

-OR-

HOW TO PROPERLY TUNE VIRTUAL ADDRESS SPACE IN WINDOWS (x32) FOR OUT OF MEMORY ERRORS

x64 operating systems do not need the following changes

"PLEASE NOTE: This section is for anyone who sees out of memory error while using FSX. It applies to ALL circumstances.

to clear up confusion about this change.. the amount reserved for the cache is NOT and DOES NOT have anything to do with the amount of memory in the system or how much memory you are allowing access to the system!!

This change only tweaks the address space, relieving the OOM error. The 32bit system will use the physical memory installed up to 4GB regardless! "

You need to tune your system when running "The Hog"!
