Memory required in Vista?

northwestdakota · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:07

Hi guys,
Not really sure if this should be here or in the memory sections, but anyway... Just installed Vista and to my surprise it works fine (yay!)

Howevere there is one problem, when playing WoW, when im in citys im getting lots of jolts on my screen, it reminds me of playing it when I had only 512 RAM, so im guessing maybe now I do not have enough again. While I play WoW on one monitor on the other I usually have Skype, MSN and the internet running.

This is my hardware:
Core 2 Duo clocked to 3.Ghz
2 GB G.Skillz RAM
8800 GT 368 RAM Card
2x 200 GB Sata drives

Any ideas on what I should do next, thanks in advance for any advice given.

What version of Vista do you have and are your graphics drivers up to date?

2gb should be enough for most games at the moment. What's your ram usage when the game is running? Sounds more like a graphics issue

Windows Vista Premium 64-bit and latest drivers from Nvidia. Ill check on the RAM usage tonight.

Probably the drivers being a bit choppy tbh.

WoW works fine for me and the only difference from you is I have an ATI X1800XT, so I imagine it's probably a Forceware problem.

Ok thanks guys, ill keep a eye out for new drivers.

2GB is plenty. nVidia's Vista drivers still have a long way to go though.
