i cant seem to find information on this. i was wondering whether 1 stick of 1 gb or 2 sticks of 512 mb dual channel memory will run faster, assuming that the 512 mb sticks and the 1 gb stick has exactly the same settings (latency timings etc.) except for the size. anyone know? thanks.

i have switched the ram but still it crashes but i figured out a way that it doesnt crash. i put it in opengl mode. i just type -opengl after the shortcut to the game. but the graphics doesnt look as good as originally. now i am just wondering why is it that opengl doesnt crash? what is...

i will try to get ram but that is the last resort i found another guy who sounds like he was having the EXACT same problem as me http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic9708.html can anyone help? thx

well my computer has been fine for a while but i now it started crashing again. i checked the cpu heat and it is only at 41 C at idle. i read other forums and 41 C is a pretty normal temp. i dont kno what is happening. can someone help?

i cant find this answer anywhere. whether corsair black heat spreader or platinum heat spreader is better? i was just wondering about the difference since i want to buy some soon. thx

i just tried running warcraft again today and it ran perfectly fine! how weird. im thinking that its because of cpu heat, since the time when it crashed, i had left the computer on for 48 hours before. im gonna try to get a zalman 7700 soon.

im not sure if other games crash because i dont play them. but i will install some later and see what happens. and i also plan to update the drivers (new ati catalyst driver i think). thx

Antec smartpower 450 watt i dont think thats the problem.. its not a cheap power supply
