Really? On Quake 4? I wouldn't think Q4 is that RAM intense compared to, say, Crysis.
How are you measuring the RAM usage during game play?
I usually play the game on one screen and the other screen would display the task manager.
The most RAM usage I've seen on my system BEING USED is like 1.2GBs when I was playing the game, Prey. I've tried to open up few dozens of Photoshop and firefox pages, but that really doesn't budge the RAM usage.
Nothinman, please explain further.
My computer guy and I are having a duel about this subject on whether or not we ever use more than 2 gigs of RAM. If any of you ever use more than 2 gigs on a XP system, please tell me what set of program(s) you are using to get over that hump.
Quick Way to check: Task Manager> Performance>...
do a repair install. You want to d/l the drive to the NIC (ethernet port) on your mobo if you don't have the mobo driver disc. If you have that, you'll be able to d/l everything else later. Repair works well and you don't have to reinstall all of the apps and such other than the service packs...
Not that kind of isolation.
You drop the cpu multi and then the memory divider low so you are testing the FSB.
Once you get the FSB, up your memory divider, increase FSB to get the max RAM.
Then you can increase cpu multi to max and find the max on the cpu.
What are your memory defaults? 800 5-5-5-15?
I would lower the PCIe to 100- 102.
Try upping the cpu voltage (Max 1.5V) to see if that helps.
If you don't know how to isolate each of the components to test each of the limits, you are not a overclocker.
