running low on memory during gaming

[Deathon2wheelz]

Hey guys,

I currently have 9gb of DDR3 1333MHZ in my system. ASUS P6T has 6 slots over 2 banks.

When I run Battlefield and other games I usually get pulled out of games with windows asking to change my theme as I am low on memory. I have a single monitor with a HDMI running to my TV for when I stream footy matches.

Q1 - it my TV using up the RAM even though it is not being used.

Q-2 is my speed of RAM causing me a problem?

I understand that 9gb should more than suffice for gaming.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply mate Specs below.

Core i7 920 OC'd to 3.88ghz Liquid Cooled (H80)
9GB OCZ Gold 1333Mhz memory (bank 1 is 2gb sticks and bank 2 is 1gb sticks both banks have 3 slots each)
GTX 670 4Gb Direct CUII
Asus P6T Mobo

being a 4gb GFX card, i don't think VRAM is the issue here

Yes 64bit.. ran Memtest86 when i did the OC.. no errors

edit - OC done 2-3 weeks ago

oh, and I don't have a load of things running in the background either when gaming.. so that part is ruled out too
