Is FSX is running on all your CPU cores?

thanks for the reply...i'll have to check with someone on how to access that info...not even sure how to find out if a good part of my ram is being used....(32bit)

I have a Q6600 just like you.
The speed of the cores is only 2,4GHz. I had much better performance by overclocking my CPU to 2,75 GHz (standard Asus AI overclock, in the BIOS). Then of course, you already know that Vista is full of useless, ressource-hungry processes that you must deactivate prior to launching your FSX, right

yep...got rid of some of those..guess you mean.uac.aero defender etc.... will check about the overclocking thanks......
regarding ram, i added this under command promt
bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2560

yes esselback all cores are working...ram working too.....the hiccups are rather annoying..plane stops momentarily, like it backs up, then continues.....very roughly,every 5-20 seconds..
shut down..defender...uac...aero ...indexing...automatic updates on  search, but not download....

This sounds like something running in the background

check for spyware and virus and also chack and see what is booting with windows

thanks ..i'll get some help with that......
