Total-134 meg, free-128meg. I should note I'm not having a problem.

Ramrod, how do you define not having a problem? Just curious. What is your frame rate when the tank blows up in the first mission in Prague for example? Mine plummets to 12. There are parts where I get 85 (com_maxFPS 85) though, but over all it usually hovers around 28 and falls in the teens during action.

I mean I can get through the game but, not enjoyably. I'm just curious if we see a "problem" differently or if there really are some people happily getting no less than 40-60 frames even in heavy AI situations.

In prague I never, ever dropped below 50 or 60.
I average in the 70s or 80s going as high as 200 with maxfps at 200.
The only place I suffered somewhat was in certain colombian jungle missions where I did dip in the 30s at times.

I should also note that I play at 10x7, 32bit, detail high, fsaa 2 and quincunx on, shadow projection, and everything else maxed.

Ramrod, your system needs to be ANALized then! Seriously. I cant touch that even remotely, even running 800x600 butt fooking ugly, low graphics. I want to know how you do it?!?!? Ramrod is like the guy with some rare blood that is immune to all diseases! We need to disect him and use him to make an antidote! Widowmaker....."geforce 3 ti 200 128 meg ddr". They make a 128 meg GF3 Ti200? Never heard of it.

AntiSnipe - try upping your AGP aperture to 128Meg from 64Meg in the BIOS.

AGP Aperature@128 Different numbers, same results. That AGP Aperature size is one of "those" things I never quite understood. I read differing opinions, dont know which is correct. (set to actual or double Vid Cards physical memory) Anyway, the AGP memory has doubled, but it was never being used before so isn't it redundant? Am I allocating (wasting) recources that are not going to be utilized? 21 FPS - drops to 7, peeks at 85 (com_maxfps 85) 800x600@32bit, medium overall, no FSAA, minimum anisotropic. As long as I dont MAX graphics and up the Res, it really makes no real difference.

FSAA is off texture settings are what the game set up for my card .. #### i even went in and set everything a bit lower .. and wow i get about 3 fps increase .. now it bottoms out to 8 fps.. i give up.. ansotropic filtering i set all the way to the left running the game in 640 X480 16 bit color ..?

I HAD MY APPETURE SIZE SET TO 128 IN MY BIOS,HOWEVER WHEN I USED THIS THE UTILITY IT SAID I ONLY HAD 64 MEGS AVAILABLE...I DOUBLED MY APPETURE SIZE TO 256 AND NOW IT CORRECTLY DISPLAYS 128 AVAIL. I GOT A GEFORCE 4 TI4600 128MB... I GOT A NOTICABLE INCREASE IN FPS BY DOING THIS ABOUT 15 FPS... STILL LOW BUT much BETTER,LOT LESS JERK..ABOUT 30 TO 45 IN A FIREFIGHT WITH MULTIPLE TARGETS(CARGO HOLD SEAWARD STAR)....AS OPPOSED TO 7 TO 25... WERE GETTIN GTHERE GREAT LOOKING OUT!!
