HI,

I am now getting back into playing GWX after a hiatus of about 6 months. Last fall I bought a new rig with a Pentium D 820 processor, 1 gig of ram and a ati 1300 video card. As time went on and GWX was developed and patched, I noticed I was getting more and more CTD's particularly when I was involved in a convoy action. I was very noticable that graphics would start to get weird when large numbers of ships were nearby. It got to the point that I ended up uninstalling the game. Last month I picked up an extra gig of memory as there was a special price on it at the local store. For a lark I renstalled the game with the latest version of GWX, and it has been far more stable. I have had only one CTD, and that was when I tried to load a saved game while stalking a solo ship underwater, As a general precaution, I had been saving the game under different names after each ship sunk so I lost next to nothing. Loads are a little quicker too.

I'd recommend 2 gigs to anyone who loves this game.
