I don't think so, 256mb is more than enough for those games with your
system. Try setting Vsync to 'allways off' in your GF properties and
see if that helps..

"Schooner" <
agreed, the further away from 128megs, the degree of improvement lessens.
I think I remember a magazine article that tried to find the sweetspot for
memory upgrades. (this is a rough estimate due to my foglike brainpan) but
the amount needed to satify windows and most programs without inducing
slowdowns or swap file access was approximentally 196mb. To be sure you
still see performance increases if you use more, ESPECIALLY if you have
background tasks like voice programs(game commander) running or joystick
controllers, but the scale flattens out the higher you go.
big improvement from 64 megs to 128. Still big improvement to 256, but
after that the speed increase or lack of speed decrease becomes relatively
minor...it's nice though to have that extra space available if you have
other programs to run.

| No, SCGT does not draw that far ahead, and there is no setting that I'm

| but...512 ram is still a good idea...just go NO HIGHER if you use any of
