Subject: RE: [eqbards] (OT) Performance Update


Don't bother buying 1.5GB of RAM unless you also upgrade from Win98SE to
Win2K or WinXP. Win 95/98/ME will not run with more than 512MB. IF you
do have more than 512MB, you have to add a line to your system.ini that
tells Windows to only use 512MB anyway.

I found this out while considering how much RAM to use for SoL heh.

Also, there was a message from Abashi that you needed to change color
depth to 32-bit with the new DX DLL. Can you still use 16-bit?

There is hope. From what I've heard guildmates say, the immediate
solution
is RAM. I will be upgrading immediately to 512 MB of RAM, and then
after
the holidays, will be running with three, 512 MB sticks. It's cheap.
Approx February or March, I will be splurging for the GeForce 3. At
that
time, I will do a test with EVERYTHING maxxed, and every option on.
Heh..it
better be perfect. :)

I am also hoping that, as time goes on, Verant tweaks their EQ dx dll.
There is no reason for me to have to disable my hardware TnL. I hope
they
fix that soon.
