BF2S Forums Is it the extra 2GB of RAM that makes the difference?

I don't think the console can display FPS, I think it's a bug.

Or at least I couldn't get it to using Oblivion commands.

nope, i tried to look up the commands to no avail.  i don't think you can.

I'd say it's something else because XP can't address that much RAM.

I'm happy with 2GBs, everything works great

XP 64-bit can, XP 32-bit can't.

*sigh*

please can we not go there again


@OP: summat is screwy - do a 3DMark on both the PC's - what scores do they each get?

Then get hold of FRAPS, install on both PC's, and compare the frame-rates you each achieve in-game.

Ideally, (if you can), get the two PC's side-by-side, run the game in demo mode (if it has one (anyone know?)), whilst you've got FRAPS running and displaying the frame-rate. That will give you the best indication of relative performance.

This is such a stupid topic tbh...

I know I know. I articulated wrong. I meant being usable by addressing.

There should be a sticky though, stating:

VISTA DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY MORE RAM THAN XP. ANY 32-BIT OS CAN ADDRESS 4GB OF MEMORY FOR ALL HARDWARE, TYPICALLY THIS MEANS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE USE OF 2.8-3.5GB OF RAM MAXIMUM. 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS CAN ADDRESS 1.84467441 × 10¹⁹ BYTES OF RAM BUT ARE TYPICALLY LIMITED TO 8-128GB.

Caps for emphasis
