I've played with 504MB of RAM since I bought SHIII (the very same day I bought my PC) and a month or so ago my PC finally told me enough was enough.
Up till then I just had slower frame rates and whatnot. But then it started to just crash my PC when I started the game. As in PC just shut off.
Well someone was able to hook me up with 512MB more RAM and I'm back baby! (Yes, I realize I could have just bought the RAM myself, but I waited until someone scored me some for free - so that's much better, yo)
My specs say it's running at .99Gigs of RAM now, still nothing great. But I'm going to finally give 16k a try. I'm sure it will be an improvement over the 1FPS I got the one time I tried it when I had only 504MB. Let's hope
So yeah, it's nice to be back after the month I was forced to stay on land.
Oh, and if anyone can hook me up with a new monitor for free that'd be cool. Something like 24" or 25" would be fine. My nice one's cord broke and I am forced to use a teeny tiny one. Oh well. I'll just squint for the time being, I guess.
