**** off with ATI

Wouldn't that be a problem though? :p

lol :D

No :p.

I'm sure on XP you won't see excess of 2.5Gb used in the most detailed graphical and intensive parts in a game. So 3Gb can handle anything on XP (gaming wise). Vista you want to have 4gb as it's a little bit more of a hog. I ran Dreamscene though which didn't help.
 
WinXP, 4GB RAM, 2900XT, Cat 8.3s.

Never had a problem. Your issue was probably bad vista drivers. It might be something that was fixed with the latest drivers.
 
I have wasted 2 weeks with the dances of swapping RAM, fiddling BIOS fan speeds and changing driver versions right back to 8.1. I've just ordered a 650W PSU (since mine is 500W) and hope that the problem is lack of psu juice. Failing that I'm sticking the card on Ebay (can't return as the BIOS has been flashed, as recommended in this forum >:( )

Flash it back send it back. :D it's not like it's not working due to you flashing the bios. That's just there incase you break your card with a bad bios flash. ;)
 
I'll wait until my new PSU arrives tomorrow morning, hopefully it is my Jeantec 500W being too weedy (ok with the ATi 1650XT).
 
Don't forget nvidia has there share of problems ..... I could game perfectly in XP but vista and nvidia kept giving me a similar problem to that you describe, but pointing to an nv file instead of the ati one naturally.
SP1 and the latest nvidia beta's seem to have it under control when I revisted vista the last few days.
Similar problems from both sides of the graphical camp, looks like the onus of blame is headed to microshaft ;)
 
Well, the good news is that with the new PSU fitted, CoD4 is stable with no crashes under single player after 45 mins of play :). The bad news is that World in Conflict crashes after 20 mins, that is after a stress test of Lan with 7 bots and 40 min gameplay. I can live with that as Wic works fine under my Vista64 partition in DX10.
