you could go for Adobe Audition that would do the trick as well. I'll second the vote for Adobe Audition. Since it was based off of Syntrillium's Cool Edit Pro (back in they day), it's an extremely intuitive interface. I've found no other editing program that works as well or is as fully featured. I use it for my voice-over work on a fairly regular basis.

<removed post> A. Wrong thread. B. Will wait for NAI beta this weekend. C. Profit.

Here are the 2.03 OpenAL drivers if you need them

Your video card supports Shader Model Zippo. It's a DX 8.0 card.. Way behind the times as is the rest of your system, to be perfectly honest. the 1950 from ATi is a good card, however you might want to also look into perhaps a whole new system if you're going to be playing ArmA with any fervor. Not sure what your budget is, but buying a new machine will net you quite a bit more performance for your enjoyment than simply tossing in a video card. Since you're limited to the AGP world, a more advanced video card is going to be gobs more expensive than an equivalent PCIe (modern graphics interface) card would be. My Recommendation? Complete overhaul. Splurge and get yourself a new system. Or, let us know what your budget looks like and what you reasonably afford to throw at this. Good luck!

Weird, I can play for hours now with no -maxmem command at all Perhaps it's the whole 4GB thing again. Sucks that you paid more and are having to deal with jumping through hoops in order for it to work; Bollocks imo.

No go, as in you can't play ArmA at ALL now? The patch hosed your machine? Please elaborate.

They're not *required* to play BioShock per se, but they increase the framerate dramatically. Enjoy, sir

Coulda been going for the XP 163.44's.. <shrug>. Anyhow, sorry to hear that stuff didn't fix your 4GB problem Â

Also, for the record: (even though I use my XP partition to play) I no longer require the -maxmem command in order for vista to be stable, using the above hotfix. over 2 hours of playing and not one CTD. Ran sluggish as all heck compared to XP, but no crashies. So for what it's worth, that's a nice step in the right direction. My Setup: C2D 6400 o/c'd to 3.2ghz 2GB (2x 1GB sticks) of Geil PC2-6400 C4 8800 GTX running 163.44 drivers X-fi sound card Vista Ultimate 32bit / XP SP2 partition For those who don't like to read so much: NO MORE Â -MAXMEM in VISTA !!!! (from my experience anyhow)

Vindicated! I posted this http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=67011 a few hours ago, but your post just gives this fix the credibility it deserves. Is it a problem that I also posted download links to the hotfix via 3rd party means? (Since MS is currently only taking these requests on a per call/email basis?) If so, I'll remove the download links, unless a mod beats me to it. Thanks Suma! Further proof that you guys do care and aren't "brushing off Vista just because...".

Have you tried: http://thehotfixshare.net/board....le=2840 See here: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=67011 Don't know if it will fix your issue, but hey... what the heck, right?

Sooo, you're running XP and 4GB of RAM? Is my assumption correct?

upload what? I provided download links. Do they not work now?

From the good folks at Locker Gnome: http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus....g-vista Here's the AnandTech article (good read) : http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=3060&p=1 Here are the fixes that you otherwise have to contact MS to get. They'll probably be made available later in the month on the KB article page... But for now...These folks have made them available to us. Download away! Download the Vista 32-bit Hotfix: http://thehotfixshare.net/board....le=2830 Download the Vista 64-bit Hotfix: http://thehotfixshare.net/board....le=2840 ===== NEW nVidia Drivers!! ===== Just in time for the new BioShock game, nVidia has released updated 163.44 drivers for XP and Vista. These fix TONS of issues with many games and could very well have some positive impacts on ArmA. They're at least certain to be more likely compatible/compliant with the above fix, anyhow. http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html [EDIT: Changed verbage to better reflect that there are indeed download links. You don't have to contact MS. Everything is here; Thank you, drive through.]

Posted this in another thread about vista, but nobody seems to have seen it and/or commented on how it affected their gameplay: http://arstechnica.com/news.ar....ed.html Please post with your results, good or bad.
