512 meg of system ram?

[Lonehunter]

The download doesn't say how big it is, and what is it?

[Zatrais]

it's 885kb big, under 1MB.. and it's a memory management tool.. lets you see all kinds of things bout your memory, but the thing you want is what you'll see as soon as you launch the program.

[Lonehunter]

Under Physical memory it says I have 7.1 MBytes free. I'm worried, what does that mean?

[Subliminal]

728=bad idea

uhhh whys that? I have 640mb btw I upgraded knowing that If i didnt i could get in the beta. I also got a new video card (eVga Geforce 4 ti42000 128mb)

[Zatrais]

it means your totally scraped for RAM and that you are relying on artificial RAM that windows creates on your HD...

Go buy some RAM to increase your performance.

[Lonehunter]

Do do I have enough for Planetside?! It says I have 64MBytes of physical memory! 64!? DAMN GATEWAY!!!!!!

I feel like breaking something

[Subliminal]

no 64mb isnt enough. You need 512mb minimum. If your computer only has 64mb of ram I have a feeling it wont meet ANY of the requirements. Whats your processor speed and what kind of video card do you have?

[Lonehunter]

Processor speed=450MHz
Video Card=Whatever comes in a 3-year-old gateway.

Edit: How much would it cost to go from 64MB to 512MB?

[Subliminal]

hehe theres no way in hell your system will run Planetside. You might as well get a new computer or a new motherboard with a 512mb card of ram and a 1.3+ghz processor, Id recommend at least a 1.5ghz tho.

[Bighoss]

I bet 512 will be the recomended and 256 the mininum.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Yeah most likely. For the beta at least it's 512 but that's a pretty high requirement when the game comes out for retail.

If you have a 3 year old gateway you really need to just get a brand new computer. If you are thinking of getting a new one post on here for some help from us.

[Lonehunter]

OH MY GOD. I am going to cut the skin on my fingertips off with my knife, then i'm gonna blind myself with my laser pointer so I can never use or see a computer again.

Note you can also run the system information tool to find out your RAM.

In 98, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information.

Or, be lazy and go to Start > Run, type in "MSINFO32.EXE" (without the quotes), and hit return.


It will tell you in the basic system overview.

[Lonehunter]

This is what it says under system info.

GenuineIntel Pentium(r) III Processor
64MB RAM
58% system resources free
Windows-managed swap file on drive C (2120MB free)
Available space on drive C: 2120MB of 6513MB (FAT32)

Now that 2120MB available space on drive C, I'm guessing that I can't use that instead of RAM or something can I.

No harddrive space is different from RAM.
