That's been my finding as well with my system. I fly the ATAG server and find I usually can fly/respawn/fly for an hour or two uninterrupted. Last night I got a CTD (launcher.exe error) after about one hour of play. The night before no crashes after approx 1.5 hrs of play before I called it quits for the night. Per your note above, it wouldn't surprise me that a 32-bit low-gig system only manages 20 minutes or so before The Big Crunch. (and it only seems to happen when you've finally saddled up behind someone and are about to mete out swift justice!)
