Talleyho....
Our systems are very similiar. If you run it with only one stick (1g) ram, how does it compare to two G?
I know the DDR throughput will be slightly diminished but I was curious the diff between a pair of .5G sticks totalling 1G versus a pair of 1.0G sticks with total of 2G ram. Loading diff? Rejoin lag pause?

Spudley:
It's been a while since I added the second stick - probably two years - but as best I can recall the most obvious improvement versus 1G was game load time. Come to think of it, the RAM doubling was part of a major new MoBo upgrade so I can't actually isolate the impact. I know that's not much help, but it's the best I can do.

wHEN YOURE BORED...
..perhaps you could do the testing 1 vs 2g by simple removing the ram, testing, placing it back in, then redoing to confirm. Time the load times, loading same mission. I think youre right prob no effect on game play as with 1G I always have free ram. I also wonder if ones amt of ram effects the rejoin lag, when you fly and someone rejoins, or hits refly. The game freezed for a fraction of sec. I suspect this is driven by distances/pings between all players to the host and to each other, and also by the hosts PC and connection speed.
Just curious. PEACE

Some others... Forest=2 LandGeom=2 Water=2 Getting 54-55 fps in Death track. About 40+ in SpitsVs109s hardest maps (a tougher test on some maps!). Spits drops to about 35fps at AA 8xS Going to be interesting.......
