i assume you use virus scan software? that takes up more resources than this thing and i havnt gotten a virus yet. not saying this takes the place of virus software, but i must be doing something right...not many people can go to tech w/o virus scan and come back without having to format

With a map fully loaded I opened up Task Manager and looked at RAM ussage, BF2 was using 800MB, talk about a RAM whore. I thought CS:S was bad at 600MB. I've heard many getting huge performance improvments when breaking the 1GB barrier, I might look into buying a 1GB stick some time in the feature.

Nope actually this box runs minimal stuff.

Windows XP is stripped down to bare necessities... no additional software except PuTTY suite, Mozilla and a Picture compression tool for the digi camera. Everything else is game related. I manually run spyware checks and Web based AV software.

I want all the resources I can get. It may suck up that amount of mem, try, but resources entail more than mem. I've watched Norton, Mcafee, and zonealarm kill network throughput....

w/e, it works, and it produces no visible slowdown like norton used to do, starts right up without having to load a million things, etc


and dutch, real life friends have never heard of xfire and if they had, they wouldnt use it...i used to play sof fullscreen all the time but i lost touch with a lot of friends that i never saw but talked to online all the time and i dont want to do that again

You should have tried planetside, would use ever bit of ram it could, many times was sitting at 900.

I'm in the same camp as Lopo, no firewall, no virus software. Never had a problem.

Why do you need minimize? It's funny I never really heard of people doing that until late in SOF2 when I found out many of my clanmates ran windowed mode to respond to IMz.

I just think that is weird, put an away message up and go focus on playing.
