As a reference, I boot Windows and run with a total of 27 processes, none of which are memory/CPU hogs and that includes NOD32 antivirus.

I've got my processes trimmed down to 21 (including Antivir) right after boot-up.
If I need some networking processes, I just enable/disable them via a batch file.
Also, one click terminates my Antivirus program.

My start system was cleaned some time ago with help from NickN and is primed for maximum performance.

Mine too. For example I don't use the default shell anymore, but a lean one instead. But that's more for the looks instead of the performance (1Mb Ram usage; default explorer 20Mb).

Only essential programs are allowed to boot with Windows and the rest are activated manually as needed such as IM or chat junk.

Aye. Same for services (see above).

Right after boot-up, my XP uses a maximum of 200Mbytes of Ram.

And I doubt that Vista can ever be that small.

Even a few of the Nvidia drivers were removed from my startup because they are un-needed such as the Nivida monitor software Nview Desktop Manager which is only requires if you use multiple monitors and rotate the images. Cleaning the statup system and setting up Windows to reserve memory resources as NickN outlined in his optimizing thread makes a huge difference.

It does. Plus, keeping your system clean helps as well.

Sounds like you have the bases covered. Interesting the Core2 response to manually manipulating affinity.

Thanks.

Actually, it was just a dump of an "I'm feeling lucky" hit-and-go at Google.

Memory leak comes from switching to windows mode or from windows to full screen mode. There is a bug with FSX and MS is aware of it.

I think in term of really good pc i use Alienware Area 51 ALX and i also suffered from this leak.

My spec:

[1] Area-51

I never encountered that problem and I switch back and forth all the time. I wonder if that may be a driver/card specific related issue.

Do you have a link from a FSX Dev blog that indicates they are aware of the issue?

I've had the problem an NEVER switched. Mabey could it be more than one issue with the same end result?
