Enabling 3GB switch on Windows XP

Does it make SH5 run better. ?????

It's hard to tell. Could be a placebo effect, but.....

You know when you use 256x accelerated time (or higher) and sometimes the games pauses for a sec, then continues..... Well it doesnt do that so much.

And i was able to track a contact from 40 KM away and not lose it. before I'd lose contacts from alot less distance.

So it seems to work... Guess it loads alot more in to memory, making the game smoother and contacts stay on map for greater distance....

Or it could just be a placebo.....

But i'll continue to use the 3GB switch.
