Oil is not water, it doesn't just come off. I bet the friction from the speed of the aircraft would rather stick and smear the oil rather than just coming clean off.

I've stuck 4GB of RAM in mine and I'd thought the system could use up to 3.7GB of it, is this incorrect and the OS can only utilise 3 of the 4 gigs available? Seems every little's going to help.

I have 4GB in my computer and before I was running XP 32-bit and it could allocate 3.25GB of it so no, there's nothing wrong with your system.

Maybe I should also stick with my q9550@4x3 GHz because then I can keep my 8 gb RAM.
Would be interesting to know from what amount of RAM the fps don't get better anymore when upgrading to more.

That's per process which is normally (but not always) synonymous with the application (GUI can easily run in its own process). And then there's the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag...

But ok, in the end it's a safe bet that 64bit with enough RAM is the better choice

Il2 supports DX8, but most of the development went into OGL support.. That's why nvidia cards run better with IL2 than AMD/ATI cards.
The RAM restriction of 32-bit Windows is 4GB. Then peripheral devices like graphic card, controllers etc. hog some RAM. That's why you won't get full 4GB available when Windows is launched. On average you get a little over 3 to 3.5GB available in Windows.

dunno. You're right, my conclusion was a bit shaky.

But i7 means new board.

I stand corrected, totally forgot about the OpenGL part

Which is not an option since Intel announced a new socket already.
(I'm f***d too with AM3, there will be new socket for the bulldozers)
