I was considering adding some more RAM to my rig, but as it turns out I've got two 1gb sticks so adding more will involve trying to sell this stuff off down the road and just buying two 2gb sticks. My local computer joint doesn't have (and won't be getting) any more Reaper 9200 for some reason, but they can get some OCZ Reaper 8500 by mid next week.
My question : Do you think FSX will see much real world benefit from 4gb of ram vs 2gb? I'm still not entirely sure how much of it WinXP (32bit) will actually see, nor how much FSX will be able to make use of but it's obviously an upgrade so it can't hurt.
Given that I'll be left with two extra sticks of ram I may or may not be able to get rid of, I really don't want to bother getting more RAM if I'm going to see a very minor performance increase. If on the other hand moving up to 4gb is going to give me a solid boost I'll likely go for it right away. Still considering the overclock as well, since the same local computer shop has a bunch of cooling stuff.
Anyway, do you suppose the extra ram would be worth the time/trouble/expense as far as FSX goes?
Thanks.
My system:
Q6600 quad
2gb OCZ Reaper 9200 ram
nVidia 8800GT x2 (sli)
etc
