Hello Guys,
I also have my FSX Deluxe, but it doesn't work well. It doesn't work fluently.
My system:
Intel 4 HT 3GHz
ATI Radeon 9800 XL (128MB DD SDRAM ; 256Bit Memory Interface)
512 MB DDR 400 Mhz
FS 9 works very good. Do you think it would help me much, if I would upgrade my Ram to 2,5GB?
Or is it the graphiccard?
I want to buy a new one, but I still want to wait for DirectX 10.
What do aou think about upgrading RAM? |

Both, do what you can do now and upgrade your card when you can.
Look in the Hardware Forum, there is a thread about DX 10 cards.
The ram will be needed for Vista also.

I mean, will it improve the frame rate, if I upgrade the Ram? Now I have low settings and a framrate of about 12frames /sec. sometimes it brakes up for one second or longer.
Do you thing it will be much better with 2560MB RAM? |

The major stutters are caused by memory content being swapped to and from the cache on your hard drive. The addition of RAM will definitely help with this. I have checked my system with 512 MBof RAM and found that 1 GB was in use when I was using FSX. This means that fully half ofr everything has been swapped out to the hard drive. That is very inefficient.
