More Memory?

**tynnmahn** · 10-12-2007, 15:50

I currently have 1 gig of RAM installed, would it have any effect of the campaign map slow downs (the campaign map slows down and gets choppy the more and more of it I get revealed and the longer I play in a single session) if I bought another gig. Because I would be willing to look into this if it would help but don't want to waste the time or money if it won't.

thanks

-ps, my computer is no slouch either. P4 3. something or other, ddr ram running at dual channel, a 7600 nvidia card. As I've said, the battle scenes almost always run fine and MTWII runs very well with almost all settings maxed.

so if it is a matter of the script on the campaign map needing more memory, I'd look into it because it would be well worth it to play EB.

Nope, for RTW (even for the latest EB) 1 gig is pretty enough.

I noticed a huge difference going from 1 to 2 gb and a smaller difference going to 3 gb

This is in Vista though. With XP, 2 GB should be about perfect

Well, I have an Athlon DualCore 2,8 GHz, 2 GB DDR RAM and GeForce 7600 graphic card and I think that will be enough

Yes, that's easily enough to play EB

If you'e experiencing great lag, try turning off campaign shadows and changing the color to 16-bit. It will likely produce noticeable results.
