That's not exactly going to help much in SD's scenario with the graphics card being the culprit.

This laptop is a Core i7, 4GB of RAM, ATI HD 4830 GFX. It does go like the clappers but gets rather toasty. If using it on your lap for more than half an hour (doing intensive tasks) you really need something inbetween you and it! -- frag MicroPlanet Gravity Newsreader V3.0 http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/

You can set a flag in your boot.ini that will display 4 Gig but that last Gig will only be used by core processes, not by applications. It doesn't hurt to set up the /3G flag as that directs that RAM to be used by said core processes, but to be quite honest if your are pushing limits on CS anyway, you probably won't notice a lot of difference. -- Kev |
