Stutters

Hi!
I playing GWX 2.1 and I used to have 512MB on my computer. Recently I added 1GB to it and it seemed to run ok for a while. I did two missions on GWX and everything went smoother than ever. Now on the 8th and 9th mission I'm experiencing more stutters than I've ever had in GXW. Even with 512MB! I have those stutters when I look through periscopes or when I'm in any station within submarine. Or uzo. Not always in binoculars but often. External views = no stutters. And in map view. I'm usually in middle of nowhere in open sea when this happens. No one in sight. When I had only 512MB I noticed that in proximity of convoys you could have stutters but now I'm nowhere near anything. Strange... More free memory means more stutters. Wonder what could be behind this? I haven't changed anything else in my computer than added more memory. Everything else seems to work fine. No bsod or anything else. In any application.

latest drivers for video card? :hmm:

hmm with more physical RAM the amount of virtual RAM on the HD has increased as well. Try to set it manually after defrag the HD. I have set it to my 2nd HD which is used only for storing files not the OS.
