Low ram?

Daniel1246Daniel1246 Member Posts: 8

Right now i'm running

Two duo Intel Pentium 4.  3.06ghz

512 MB NVIDIA Gefore 8400 GS

1GB of RAM

33gb free disk space.

 On Age of conan, i'm at around 1-32 fps on low settings. My fps jumps down alot. Then it's fine. In Tortrage i'm at 5-20. And it's never steady fps what's the problem? I thought my ram was the problem, considering aoc is only 20-30 on my CPU in my task manager? Would more ram make my game less chompy and run alittle more smoothly?

    1 gig is pretty much crap for all MMO's.

    i remember when i had 1 gig and trying WoW and getting the odd lag fest.  stuck in another 512mb (all i could afford at the time) and bam.  lag gone and i was a happy camper.

     

    if you want to play some serious games then i suggest 2-4 gig

     

    for your setup i think 3 gig would be perfect.  grab 4 if you plan on going to an 8800 or a 9 something AND use vista.

    MMO wish list:

    -Changeable worlds
    -Solid non level based game
    -Sharks with lasers attached to their heads

    Alright thanks!

    So my cpu isn't the problem? I was going to to get 2x 1 GB and stick at 3gb. Right now i have have 2x 512 ram sticks.

    Your CPU should be alright.

    But another thing might be your HD space. If a HD is getting full, it can slow things down as well. Best to keep the used space below 75% (or at least 90%), and if you are reaching the limit then defrag it often.
