Jacky60 10 Posted May 31, 2011 I use windows 7 64 bit and I'm considering upgrading to 12gb ram for arma 2. Will arma 2 use this memory (vs 6gb I have at moment) or is it a waste of money. I know on release it only used 2gb or thereabouts but since then it's supposedly become 'large address aware', will it now utilise more ram? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-)rStrangelove 0 Posted May 31, 2011 To increase ArmAs smoothness you could either - use 8GB of your 12 GB as a ramdisk and then load PBOs from there or - spend the money on an SSD and install ArmA on it Either way, smoothness will be increased, whereas just buying 12GB wont do anything. I'd go with the SSD solution, cause its the easier one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacky60 10 Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for the replies that's what I thought. I actually have 2 ssd's-a vertex 2 with the OS and a Intel 320 120gb for Arma 2 and it really is vastly better than it was BUT after an hour or two of gameplay everything seems to slow down a bit. I suspect the server is the reason but many years ago playing wargasm ( again big maps for the time and lots of AI) the same would happen and additional memory solved the problem.
