I have a Gigbyte MB : EP45C-UD3R that has 6 memory slots . I run a Windows 7 64bit(Home Premium) OS . My question is 4 of the slots are designated DDR2 and 2 are DDR3 and currently I have 4GB (2 X 2GB) Patriot Viper 1600 MHz . My question is what is the maximum amount of DDR3 (matching pairs), I can put into the two DDR3 slots? My Q9650 3.0 was clocked(by a friend) to 3.6 . My GPU is a ATI 4890 1G card . I know , FSX is a CPU hog but overall this setup does a fairly good job . On occasion though it bogs down and even freezes up or goes dark so I quickly check the Windows Task Manager is under Processes it shows CPU 0% , Physical Memory 70's to 80% . Can the 2 DDR3 slots (assuming they are matching pairs) take more than 4GB and would it be any benefit at all ? I have placed the HIGHMEMFIX=1 into the fsx.cfg file as many have suggested and all of this above still happens .
I better stop now , I'm starting to confuse myself and that is very easy to do now a days .:isadizzy:
PS: A friend of mine gave me 8GB(4 X 2) of Corsair XMS2(DHX) DDR2 memory 800 MHz .He bought it over a year ago when it was cheap and he was building a system . (Guess what , he is not getting it back---LOL) He has been pretty ill as of late or I would ask him .
