How much RAM ya running?

TG_Blood · 05-26-2008, 04:37 AM

1 GB here to low me thinks.

**Dirtboy** · 05-26-2008, 05:42 AM

I am running 4 and do just fine. I suggest you bump it up to at least 2.

TG_Blood · 05-26-2008, 05:59 AM

Dirtboy did you start with 2GB and go with 4 GB? If so was there a significant difference in speed/perf? Just curious.

**DrunkenPirate** · 05-26-2008, 06:59 AM

2gigs here, it's old stuff though and gets caught up in some places.

1 gig here and things run pretty good. Older system also.

Rick_Slick · 05-26-2008, 09:50 AM

128 MB here... things are a bit choppy

If I play at 320x200 resolution and everything on low, I can get up to 5 FPS though, so it's cool.

**gijoe** · 05-26-2008, 10:21 AM

Oh my god...How do you play like that? Is everyone else seeing that its blurry and pixelated?

2gb BTW.

Heh... remember not so long ago (early nineties) when graphics like this wowed us? For those among us who were not part of the "good old days", that is what Doom, Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein looked like... and we LOVED it.

For the record, 4 GB physical, 3.25 GB is recognized by WXP. I dobnt know that I have gained much from the extra 2 but I have head room to spare, now.

Wow rick I didn't know you could play BF2 on a Commadore 64. Try upgrading the tape drive to one of those new 5 inch floppys.

I've got 1GB and it seems to run kind of choppy in the first few minutes of the new maps then it smooths out or when I pop smoke. I think its my graphics card but I'm about as tech savy as Archie Bunker.

I am running 4gb. You should go get yourself some more...it is CHEAP after rebate. Here is some good stuff for $31 after rebate for 2 gb's. Click below:

I run just fine on my "WalMart" EMachine with bout but just less than 1gig.

**Shikaze** · 05-26-2008, 03:34 PM

1 gig on my old HP Pavillion. I've got no room to upgrade, also using a Athlon XP cpu. Have to run graphics at med and low, but the maps run fine for the most part. The new Berlin map crashes me though.

**jb4** · 05-26-2008, 05:33 PM

4 Gigs addressed at 3.25 on XP
RAM is one of the least expensive upgrades right now.

micbur54 · 05-26-2008, 06:28 PM

Went from 2 to 4 now I do not have to reboot after I play poe2.

**Namebot** · 05-26-2008, 06:30 PM

4 gigs reported as ~3.6 (by task manager, accurate?)

no difference in going from 2-4 in POE

Whats a good way to kill lag caused by smoke?
