FSX running out of memory
The "Out of Memory" dialogue box, is it in the game? or Windows giving you
this error. "edminney" wrote in message ... I have been using FSX since last November. I bought a Dell 720 XPS with a Core 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 MHrz and 3GB Ram. I have VISTA 32 bit Home Premium OS and I have a NVIDIAGeForce 8800 GTX Video Card and a 1TB7200 Hard Drive. The FSX has run great in stock mode (no add ons) with good frame rates. I recently purchased some aircraft add-ons and also installed Ultimate Terrain X and Ground Environment X. Now I can't make a flight over 30-40 minutes without the simulator just freezing. It gives me the out of available memory dialogue box and I've just wasted my flight time. I've tried finding solutions. Dell sold me a memory stick to configure in ready boost mode to supposedly increase memory above the 3GB that came with the computer. I think I got bad advice as that didn't do anything at all to resolve the memory problem. I'm really loosing the joy I used to have with this flight sime stuff and am desperately trying to get some good advice. I'm not a high tech computer person so I need some advice I can understand. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Yes it could be. How big is the size of the graphics card? 1GB? 2GB?

FSX running out of memory
So I'm curious......why does it operate just fine for about 30 minutes, with no hang ups at all.....and then start disintigrating after that. Is there some aspect of the game that keeps loading graphics into a cup until it just overflows? Any ideas what I can do to fix this. My graphics card is 768 MB.
