Default 2 Gigs??

I received a gift card from Future Shop for x-mas. There is not a lot I need, but I am wondering something. An annoying part of the SH3/GWX experience is the load time. I have a Pentium D with an ATI 1300 pro card. I am wondering if adding a second GB of ram will improve the load up time of the game??

Most definately! I'm not sure by how much, but times and performance will improve.

I added an extra GB to my existing one (4.2 ghz CPU) and it shortened my loading times by approx 30%

Did windoze say there was a fatal error and had to restart when you reboot it? often it does. If it does, look at the details and submit the report. 99% of the time windoze suggestion (if there is one) is way off, but it usually will elude to the problem (possibly video card drivers or something).

This help fixed my random bsod problems *knock on wood*

You can never have too much memory or SH3. I think XP will see up to 4 gigs - don't know off hand about Vista.

Hello Trollus,

Right click on ''My PC''
click ''Properties''
Go to ''Advanced''
click ''Properties'' under Recovery & Reboot (or somthing like that (I have a Dutch XP)

then untag the ''Restart Automaticly''

this doesnt fix your problem, but it will hold onto the Blue screen of death of windows XP(untill you press the Reset/Power button), mostly it says something like ''STOP:00000x0 and more digits
but if it is a Driver software it will show a File mostly with the extend .sys
write that down , and go look on google there are helpdesk forums that explains the problem and what to do.

if the fix explained on that forum doesnt work, then there is a simple solution but a hard one

Formatate the computer and reinstall and download the latest drivers and install them.

good luck
