BF2S Forums Get that jet!

3GB PC6400 RAM > 2 HD's in RAID 0, graphics on high/lightning on medium/shadows off = fast loading times!

the answer is M95

You best have XP 64-bit or Vista Ultimate, because anything else won't detect the fourth stick. So in all reality you have three gbs, which is still killer, but you have one stick just doing zero.

I've tested it. My dad has 4 sticks, each 1 gb and XP 32-bit only detects 3. Bill Gates, at his best.

The issue with 4 gigs of ram only showing up as ~3 has to do with XP being 32 bit, not the fact that XP is a 'hog' or that Bill Gates doesnt know what he is doing.  Its not 'not being detected' either, it just can't be addressed.

I just upgraded to 4 gigs and I´m always among the first 4 players spawning. Every map, 64 players.

Hard drive speed is actually a bigger factor into loading than RAM. RAM allows for faster loading but what's the use of having all that RAM if you can't access the data off your hard drive fast enough?

Exactly true.

I have two gigs of overclocked ram but the one new piece of hardware that started getting me loaded in before almost everyone else in a server was a 10,000 rpm Raptor for my main drive.

You can try to get two in a RAID config to try to squeeze a second or two out but that's all you will get for a much higher cost. I have a rich boy clan mate that had four Raptors in RAID 0+1 and he would load in about a second or two before me.

If you aspire to be a vehicle whore you should save those pennies and upgrade your main (os) hard drive first and your ram second.

Ever since i got my single 74GB raptor drive I'm always one of the first on the server. On some occasions I've taken off before the second person has spawned.

As for somehow always getting the spawn closest to the jet, you can't do it as far as I know.

It was something like that. I only read a little into it. 64 bit can detect all 4 gbs. I was just joking about Bill Gates and XP being a RAM hog. Vista's the RAM hog.

Use sniper on wake

Always works for me

Just got the fast car, Wheyyyy got the jet

Joking, i never ram people, i usually take the other jet / chopter, or go to drive around with my car

XD Well-spoken!

They know exactly where to stand. It's usually in the middle of the hangar, but it varies map-to-map.

Also, hold down "E" and look up. Some reason, it works.

I look down and it works for me.

Hahahaha. I was about to suggest that he post a video. Then i realised how retarded that would be as he could spawn any number of times until he got the right one. These holidays have just destroyed my brain.

Otherwise i doubt he is going to tell you anything other then what he already has. If he has a method, i say good for him, enjoy. If not and its all bullshit then at least it made this thread longer. Either way i vote permaban for not being in the spirit of BF2s and sharing potential advantages with other community members. Haha jk

Surrrrrrrreeeee.

Double tap W just before the game starts. Then you get right into a sprint
