Hi, Does anyone know if Nascar Racing 2003 benefits from an increase in ram from 512MB to 1GB under XP Pro? Obviously it will depend on the number of processes running but assuming there are as few as possible...

I've seen the same, 512 seems to be the max that is used by it. "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:mD6Nb.47397$sv6.125869@attbi_s52...

NR2003 is very CPU dependant it seems. What CPU are you currently running or planning on? "on" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Thanks heaps guys. The few bucks I'll save will go towards a video card...

Currently running P4 2.6C @ 2.99 GHz... Also had a 9800 Pro till I screwed with it! The 9800 XPs seem to be dropping in price every day...

Thanks for your interest dude. And of course I meant XT... One other problem I've had though (and which is a current thread on ras) is corrupted sound in WinXP with NR2003. I've got an MSI 875P Neo and the onboard sound (ADI SoundMAX) is to blame (doesn't seem to be a problem in Win98 though). So I'm thinking about an Audigy2. Any opinions?

Of COURSE they are dropping in price. I just bought a 9800 Pro! I suffer from "Leo Laporte Syndrome". -Larry "on" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Currently running P4 2.6C @ 2.99 GHz... Also had a 9800 Pro till I > screwed with it!
