Will this be an improvement?

hey guys,

I can run the FSX demo pretty well, but it seems that I don't have a lot of RAM.

My Compaq Presario V2000 specs are:
AMD Turion 64
ATI Radeon Xpress graphics card
1.59 Ghz
384 MB of RAM

My question is: can I run FSX well if I buy another 512mb of RAM?

I have the same setup [almost] on a laptop and the demo seems to fair nicely in the system. However, I'm pretty sure the full release would be as demanding as the demo.

The full release should be slightly less demanding than the demo. The game is still in beta testing and they're still optimized the code.

I think another 512mb of RAM should benifit though

Yeah, but on the other hand, the full game would have MUCH MORE data to load concerning the scenery... I mean, in the demo, there's just an island and water, what about flying over a big city, or a montain zone, with all the terrain, autogen, traffic, AI, etc ... ?
My guess is thatthe full game will be more demanding on memory than the demo :/
