Annoying (diffrent) RAM problem

bricktotalk · 2003-05-12, 03:56 PM

I have 128MB of RDRAM. RDRAM is different (much faster) than the common SDRAM. Why can't I play with this 128 RD RAM which is probably much faster than the minimum 256MB of RAM, which is SDRAM?

Because regardless of how fast the 128 is, it still can only hold 128MB of info. The game passes roughly 650+MB of information to your computer on the highest settings.

Yep. My ram usage is close to 745MB during a time when lotsa people and things are going on.

I have a gig though, so no big deal for me.

I think I will be picking up another 256mb stick soon, then I'll have 768.
