Hey:
Ok, so I excitedly installed my PMDG 747X on my Athlon X2 dual core 4800+ 4gb RAM, Vista x64 PC. After getting past a bug that has since been fixed, I taxied over to 31L KJFK headed for Paris and got the dreaded OOM error at 500 ft. This had happened previously when setting graphics sliders up all the way, which I should be able to do for most of the key options (don't really care if my a/c casts its own shadow). In fairness I had 50% MyTraffic running and sliders up high (not all the way), but still. After research, this is apparently not a new thing. Though Vista has not caused me trouble elsewhere, this is bothersome. I have a problem with the fact I've beefed this baby up about as much as possible and still can't get FS joy.
So now, to the pleasure of the Mac/PC commercial debate, I'm debating on going back to XP, which still serves me well at work. Then the decision is back to XP 32 or 64. So I was wondering if anyone had experience/success with FSX on XP 64bit,? I have a Nvidia 8800GTS. I know the 32 worked for me before but also want to make sure I'm not cutting off my nose to spite my face (are the graphics bennies in Vista even there?).
Thanks in advance,
Jim
