It never caused instability even when I had 512 mb of RAM, so I don't think it matters.
EDIT: It might if you do it to a whole bunch of processes, but I don't think just FSX will matter too much.

Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2009 12:47 pmthe ac is a twin otter taken at Honolulu International in Hawaii with everything turned up except airport ground traffic...I took a shot with it on normal then put it onto high...i went to put it to realtime and my system was wanting to crash. the pictures also show not a real difference between normal and high prioity setting.
Before with normal setting
after-with high prioity setting
I personally did not see a difference worth the possible trouble that it could cause....Maybe NickN could give us simmers some insite on this.

Open the Task Manager, right click on FSX, select Priority.
