Originally posted by solareus Not 100% sure how ram works, but generally more ram only gives more stability and faster caching. Depending on what you had previously, you very well could of not seen a whole hell of alot. It also depends on what class of ram, what kind of ram, and what speed of the ram your purchasing. I don't think you will see that notable of a difference from 2 to 4 gigs of ram, atleast not in a windows os. |

Originally posted by solareus You must be using Vista right? How about letting us know what the rest of your computer is like.
You can put Jet Fuel into a car, but that doesn't mean it will fly like one. How computer savvy are you? Do you have all the latest drivers and windows updates? have you tried enabling/disabling advanced features in your Video Cards Control Panel? Sometimes games will have there own anti-aliasing, V-Sync, etc. options built into the engine. If you have these features enabled and the game doesn't normally support it, you may have problems. I would suggest doing a complete re-install of your OS, getting all the windows updates and make sure all your drivers for video/sound/etc. are up to date. Then install AoC and see how it performs. I can almost guarantee that most of the people having performance issues is due to a infestation of Viruses/Spyware/Trojans/Malware/etc. |

Vista 32 SP1 (reading 4 gigs) 4 gigs ram 4200+ x 2 64 AMD (might get a new chip) 8800 GT 512meg BFG 650 Watt PSU SB audiogy sound. ................................................. Had 2 gigs installed prior. I test some other games as well and they are running incredible, but the AoC open beta client performs the same. Got a new Seagate HD on the way but I don't think it will come before the 10th so there would be no way in seeing if it is a hard drive issue .. |

not to change the subject but the ram helped with LotRO in rendering the far off textures , looks amazing I will run a defrag after lotro, then I will try AoC again |

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his brother. |
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/177970 Works great for me, but then again Lotro has had a year of continual optimization and AoC isnt even out yet. I would change your page file / virtual memory size too. |
