Adding more ram

[awins1]

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.

By the way my other main components in the system are as follows:

AMD XP 2000+
Radeon 8500 64mb
Shuttle AK35GTR
Win2K
Maxtor 60g HD 7200rpm

I don't think it will give much performance increase, unless you're using (very) high detail terrain combined with a large viewdistance.

This hasn't got much to do with OFP Troubleshooting, therefore moving to Off-Topic

No, AFAIK, OFP only uses 256MB of RAM.

OFPR needs another 128MB on top of that.

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.

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.

how do you change the programs that are loaded when windows starts up. I found it once, but ive forgoten it now

[RalphWiggum]

simple way would be opening that program, and then go through options to see if they have &#39;load at startup&#39; 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.)
