Hee. I was wondering if anyone else was taking this game as a hint to upgrade their RAM. I played for about a week on just my 1G of RAM, and the lagging would get really bad if I went into a town (Thylisium was horrendous), or if I had the game on for more than 30-45 minutes or so. Only crashed about 3 times in the week or so I played it. I'm going to go ahead and give it a rest until my 2G of new RAM that I ordered gets here. If anyone is worried about the price for extra RAM, check out someplace on-line (I patronize newegg, personally). I was worried about price, too, but I'm getting 2x1G sticks for only 21 bucks with a 5-dollar rebate. Gravy. ^_^

Cool, let us know if you have more issues. Also since you are getting new memory something to try is to go here.. www.memtest.org/You can get the memtest utility there and burn the image to a cd and some night just put the disc in and have the computer boot to it. The program will scan your memory for errors, so if one of the new sticks you have is bad you will know right away and can return it. You could also scan your old ones for errors just in case you need them again.

Another great utility for anyone looking to upgrade the RAM on their system is the Crucial System Scanner here: www.crucial.com/systemscanner/It's small, quick to download, simple enough for even a n00b like me to use, and explains many of the specs that have to do with RAM. Makes sure you don't go and spend money on RAM that you can't put in your PC.
