Flight Simulator X - Memory Problem

Hi I have 2 x 8800 GTX's in SLI mode which worked great with XP. I did a
clean install of Vista Home Premium, re-installed FSX and I can't play it for
more than a few minutes before it starts to slow down considerably, then
closes as Vista brings up a message saying I am out of memory. However I have
2Gb of high end memory. This never happened before. Is this happening to
anyone else? I am using the latest Beta driver (100.59) from Nvidia. THANK
YOU.

Probably a bug in nVidia's drivers. You're lucky, the display driver for me
crashes when trying to scroll through IE too fast.

Not buying another machine with an nVidia card in for the foreseeable
future.
