I'm sure one of you FS enthusiasts can advise me on this. I run FS2004 with quite a few addon aircraft and extra scenery but it's getting to the stage where it's taking a few seconds to load some of the more complex scenery and aircraft textures from the hard drive. I was thinking about upping my memory to 3gb, have 2gb at the moment and possibly investing in a new drive so I could install only FS onto it. What would be the best drive to get? My PC runs silently so I'm not keen on getting anything too noisy, what are the WD raptors like? Also, is it really worth my upping the amount of memory I have or is there some way (short of shutting down services which I don't need, which I've already done) of assigning more memory to the game so it doesn't stutter when loading up textures? Thanks.

check your peak commit charge in the task manager after you've run the game for a while, that will tell you if you need more memory (chances are its not even using the 2gb you already have) And yeah, getting a raptor would make things better.

I dont think FS2004 will run smoothly whatever specs you have. I got into this Sim a few years back and gave up and put it down to poor programming on MS side.
