finally got it to go

Maybe 64 bit allowed the use of the full 4 gigs of memory.

a good thing to add to a rig with low ram is a flash drive
when win sees it, choose the boost option
you are allowed up to 8 individual flash drives

i have done this with a 16gb flash drive, i plan to add another soon
made big gain for my 4 gb ram rig

If you have a 64 bit OS, you should see clearly better performance with 8GB RAM than with 32 bit OS.

Not for a 32-bit game, you won't. It's arithmetic!
The best you get is an extra ~0.5GB (or maybe a bit more, possibly up to 1GB http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx ) because Win64 will not need the that space reserved by Win32. Plus all the other processes are memory allocated under Win64, so don't count towards the 32 bit limit.
You're running under a Win32 emulator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64 , so the 32-bit limit is still there.

What if I have an external Hard Drive, will that work? I have Windows 7 64 bit with 4 gig of ram.

I dont think so, HD are slow, ram is fast

Hi there, this is from a post Luthier did on performance.



E. NOTE: DirectX 9 offers slower performance and lower graphic fidelity. If your system meets Recommended system requirements, upgrading to a DX10-capable operating system will offer better performance boost in Cliffs of Dover than perhaps any hardware upgrade.
