Not sure...it COULD be.  But when I first bought my newest computer, it only had 128 mb of RAM in it, and I didn't have too many jumping issues.  (But I will definitely say that the upgrade to 640 definitely improved quality!)

What are the other specs of your system?
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.

Try setting the sliders to about halfway, and start there. Start the sim and figure out what makes the scenery look better, and still have good frame rates at the same time.

It's all about finding that happy medium. All computers seem to run FS differently at different settings. You just have to find what works for yours. It'll take a while. Just be patient.

512 MB is ideal for FS, more is always better.  What does the rest of your system look like (video, sound, etc.)
Windows XP SP1
Motherboard: Epox 8RDA + main board

Memory: PC2700 1gb Geil DDR
