''always lag''

my video card is and processor is more than up to scratch, and its even on minimum settings.

I have a 6800U and the game was lagging/stuttering with medium settings with 512MB ram. :p

Load times are better and I could actually play the game when I bumped up to 1gb of memory. The game still isn't flawless but it is playable unlike it was before with only 512MB.

I have 1.5 GB and a 6800GT. With most of the settings on high I was 5MB from hitting the pagefile.

I wouldn't have believed it until I did it myself - I was having the same problem and was starting to get annoyed. I upgraded to a sound card from my onboard sound cause I thought that was causing it...that didn't help. Then I started looking at processors to upgrade my aging P4 2.4 but decided to up the memory first since it was cheaper. I had 1gig and bought another gig. Now I can run my 6600gt on high settings w/aa and it barely ever skips on me and my machine is far from a high end gaming rig....before I could set everything to low or off and still it lagged on me.

Alt-tab out to task manager while a map is loading. I had 1 GB of RAM and it got up to around 1.2 GB - 1.5 GB of memory usage.

512 is in no way going to run the game smoothly as you would like. get 1.5 GB+ or adjust to the lag...

I have 2 GB now and I have no complaints with everything set on high

Yes, but you do not have enough memory.

Damn, did I miss the bandwagon? Can I still recommend "GET MORE RAM"?

(I have 2 x 512MB in a machine that only has 2 slots... arrrgh! I want 1.5 or 2GB!!!)
