I had the same problems like you even though I am on SLI. Therefore, I just upgraded from 1GB to 2GB RAM and now, all those annoying pauses are away.

The best though, is to run 2 sticks of 1GB so that your A64's (I presume it's AMD) memory controller would attain 1T and better stability. I tried to run 4 sticks (1gb x 2 and 512mb x2) and it would hang from time to time.

wow.. on sli but still hang like mine...
the more the merrier u saying izzit>???

i don have 2 stick of 1b..

i only have 2 stick of hyper-x and 2 stick of KVR..

hohoho just got my OCZ ram
2GB

Hi, which ram is better for the 2gb kit? BE-5 or UCCC? Or more specifically:

1. 2gb kit at 2-3-2-5 BE-5 and
2. 2gb kit at 2.5-4-4-8 UCCC

Both are rated at PC3200 DDR400. I'm looking at max overclock it can achieve at 3-4-4-8. The first has tighter timings but don't know if it would run out of steam at lower speeds whereas the second starts of with modest timings but end up at??

Any feedback is much appreciated

BE-5 can do 2-3-2-5 up til abt 210-ish.. then u hav to use 2.5-3-2-5... usually for 250++ u need 3-3-2-5 or looser....

for UCCC it maxes abt 260++ at 3-x-x-x.. not really sure abt the timings.. and also need some luck for good sticks haha

all talks abt going to 2GB... i guess in 2006+ all will be talking on going to 4GB using FB-DIMM...

cheers.. by 2010... 8GB standard?

crazy... but.. why not.. more is better.. rite?

And I thought just a few years ago, 8MB EDO SIMM Ram Modules were overkill. By 2010, it should be about 32GB or 64GB...

BE-5 here
250 @ 2.5-3-2-5

240 @ 3-4-410 here

512 MB

There are a few situations where having just 512 MB system memory in your computer can be enough.

* If you run your games at low quality settings (small texture size) because you have an outdated CPU and graphics card, or because you prefer FPS over visual quality.
* If you only use one application at a time.
* If it is your grandmother's computer.

If you are buying a new computer, even if it's a laptop, opt for more than 512 MB - you will never regret it.
1 GB

Indeed, 1 GB of system memory will most likely be enough for the average user and for people.

* It will allow you to play new games at their highest quality settings, given that you have an adequate processor and a powerful graphics solution.
* You won't have to shut down non-critical applications when you want to play a game.
* You can (accidentally) press the Windows button while in a game without dying from a stroke during the seconds it takes to read Windows back into system memory from the swap file.
* If you go from 512 MB to 1 GB, you will notice the difference all the time. Starting up Photoshop while working with Word, an Internet browser, e-mail client and Acrobat Reader will go so much faster, and switching between the applications is a breeze.

2 GB

Still there are situations where more than 1 GB is what you want.

* If you are a professional user, you might need more than 1 GB for really heavy applications.
* If you intend to do heavy multitasking, especially if you have more than one CPU or CPU core. Running RAM intensive games such as World of Warcraft, downloading files via high speed FTP or encrypted protocols, Bittorrent or any P2P program; decompressing large archives and playing large size video files in a window or on second monitor all at the same time can max out your system memory pretty fast - if your CPU can handle it.

actually i'm not really impressed when i upgraded to 2 gig the way i was when i went from 512 to a gig.

heh, one to answer ma! i'm having the same problem too

yalo no solution yet
stupiak windows

Wanna trade with me then? 2 gigs sounds pretty sweet to me....

u mean the PF thing shown in the Task Manager? thats the total ram being used as pagefile since u have already disable the harddisk for paging... the comp need somewhere to store temporary data.. rite?

but afterall dude , still worth to invest into 2GB of high performance ram
seriously worth it ..no more lagging ^^

haha good to you then... noticing some improvements from 2GB......

Just upgraded from 512MB to 1GB...yesterday...
From what I'd experience (for one day), I really can notice the differences... It's much more smoother now...

Now, I might even consider 2GB...
