Re: ram usage

[oxymoron_02]

You'll have 768 left for programs, don't worry. OSes are generally big hulking things, and will take up a lot of memory, though 256 seems a bit excessive, perhaps you could disable a few "background" programs.

But no, not all programs will take up 256; depending on the application they could use as little as a few kilobytes, right up to a few hundred megabytes.

good question, I learned something

Any OS will use a certain amount of RAM...
In addition when you run a program that will also use a certain amount of RAM...
If you run more than one program anything running will also use a certain amount of RAM...
That shiny Blue Screen will let you know rudely when you have managed to use all your RAM at once.

You have nothing to worry about.

[oxymoron_02]

I'd already answered you, anyway.

That's like saying I got a real nice car that doesn't drive.

yea, i think tis cuz i installed it on my desktop when i first got the game and i think i registered the account key then so im going to unstall it from the desktop and then try and play it.

Installing programs to the desktop is a good way to learn how to format and re-install all your stuff...
It's brand new, keep it simple and organised and you should have a long life with it.
Have you installed all your protection programs yet ? ?
This would have been the first thing i played around with.
Tedious i know but well worth it.
