awins1 0 Posted August 16, 2002 Has anyone upgrade from 512mb ddr ram to 1 gig of ddr ram? Does is make a difference in this game? I currently have 512mb of pc2100 ddr ram and considering adding more, perhaps another 512mb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benze 0 Posted August 17, 2002 No, AFAIK, OFP only uses 256MB of RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted August 17, 2002 OFPR needs another 128MB on top of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted August 17, 2002 You said that res needs 384mb of RAM. I got 318mb and I'm getting the memory map thing practally constantly. Would adding 128mb RAM help that. I've deleted a lot of addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted August 17, 2002 it worked for my system, though i never had that 'memory map' problem. but i also have only a few addons that gets loaded when i start OFP. I also have very small number of programs that are preloaded with Windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphwiggum 6 Posted August 17, 2002 simple way would be opening that program, and then go through options to see if they have 'load at startup' option. if they have it, uncheck it. otherwise, they have StartUp folder in ProgramFiles=>Startup. take those programs down.(though you might want to take caution.)

BoonieRat 0 Posted August 17, 2002 Sytem information > tools > sytem configuration utility > start up. 'Explorer' and 'systray' are all you need to leave running Win98 won't utilise more than 512mb RAM I don't think win2K is any better. winXP is the one for higher than 512mb memory managment. 512 should be enough. PS. you can also press 'Ctrl','Alt' and 'Delete' at the same time to bring up the 'Close Program' window... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
