There is a known feature of the forum software where if somebody quotes a moderator message then the moderator tag appears for them also.

And after a totally disastrous trade with Overclockers in 2003, I WOULD NEVER trade with them again. Useless money grabbers.

TheTazman · Post by **TheTazman** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:28 pm

If you play any other games / sims do those stutter?

What memory are you using?

I think it's probably impossible to completely eradicate stutter (just look at the jerky starships on Star Trek films to see what thousands of dollars of equipment can't achieve) but it can be reduced to an acceptable level.

I find it's a question of balance. Try to set you graphics card to run as fast as it can, within your system, and have your CPU running at around 3+GHz. Your memory also needs to be able to feed the graphics so consider 800MHz as a bare minimum.

You've got an Asus motherboard and they are usually very overclocker-friendly. Experiment and have fun.

Overmarze -- How does RailSim run on Vista, compared with XP? I'm wondering about Ultimate, myself.
