I wish it was so simple.. I got 2 gig and still crash to desktop. I never did until I got patch 1.3.
I have 4 gigs of Quality DDR2, don't tell me it's a "RAM" problem. Know what you are spewing out your piehole before you open it.

how did u run XP properly w/ 4 gigs? man when i have 4 gigs it shows at 3 gigs and somtimes bsod's
Depends on the motherboard, and how it registers the RAM in Windows. You may possibly need a BIOS update. Either that or the motherboard dosen't support more than 3 gigs. I had an old ASUS board that had 4 DDR sockets, but could only use up to 2 gigs, no matter what I put in. Like 4 sticks of 512, or 2, 1 gig sticks.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

I'm actually not running the full 4 gigs anymore. But even when I was it was still CTD'ing as much as it is now w/2 gigs. I took out 2 gigs to use in the "Hivemind", my beautiful file server. Heh.
From my personal experience I don't think it is only a RAM problem. I had a 3200+ with 1gb of Ram and an NX6600gt. Upgraded to a 3500+ AMD 64 7800 with still 1 gig of ram. I crashed less and it seemd that I could recover from the skipping sound crash from hitting the JOIN GAME, which I couldn't do with the old rig. This is far from conclusive but I think saying it is a RAM issue is not accurate.
But I now have 2 gigs of Ram and it never crashed anymore

My mobo supports 8 gigs... 975x chipset, bios and CPU-Z registers as 4gb but windows registers at 3... i think its windows, but i get some bsod's here and there so i took out 2gb, and now im only w/ 2fermium wrote:

WTF does that thing do anyway? It doesn't seem to do anything for me.
CPU-Z? it just shows your cpu's clockspeed, core codname, VCore, memory speed and timings. thats just itViper007Bond wrote:

Sorry, I really gotta make sure I'm on the last page of the thread and to use the quote link.
I was referring to the auto-ready thing. (And I know what CPU-Z is. )

Windows XP only recognizes up the 3.4 gigs of RAM.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

Have 3 gigs of DDR2 5300, still crashes. Though i've noticed on my g15 lcd(keyboard) that the ram is at 100% when this happens. Er....maybe thats when a server crashes?
Odd. I have 1 gig, should be crashing all the time, but I never crash.
