How many of you know that your video card memory is also taken into account as part of your OS total memory?

I think that's only if you have an on-board graphics card (and haven't disabled it)

Actually, if you use XP 64 it will recognize up to 4 Gigs (maybe even 8, I can't recall exactly) but XP 64 has a lot of downsides compared to XP 32.  Also, I've found a lot of PC users, Vista or XP, don't even realize they have wasted RAM in there anyways, so I wouldn't consider it a big negative. (Not that you were saying it was)

Dual boot is a good idea, though, for a lot of people.  I think personally I'd end up using XP and never touching Vista though, can really do everything I need on XP.

XP 64 like vista 64 will recognise 16 gig of ram

Next year we will have vistas replacement ...
Requires 8 GB RAm to boot up,  1024 mb graphics card to play pacman , 2048mb graphics card to play Doom II ,  and forget about playing anything new , period .

Hows that for advances ?

To the Vista user.  Any self reaspecting gamer would have researched Vista and found it unreliable with older games.  I recommend you dual boot (google it) and it doesn't matter if you have 4-8 gig of ram either.  Xp will utilise only 2 anyway, you can get it to use 3 but then you lose dual channel and that ain't worth it.  I have Xp 32 on a 500 gig hardrive and vista 64 on a seperate 500 gig hardrive.  I have to go into bios and swap the boot order for what ever OS I want to use.  Simple

Stormtrooper 2: But of course, TK-3183! They'll never see us coming!

Why does that look familiar?  That's not me and a turret at the bottom there is it?

Any chance it fixes the Vista bugs, and includes the Yavin Fix? I mean if they can't get off their high chair and fix the mod so that it works like the full game dose (IE In Vista without issues at all or crashes, or odd UI bugs)

Then over half the PC market that plays BF2142 will just forget the mod is even there. I mean that crap they gave us that the problem is becuse of Vista, and Nvidia cards was utter bull crap. I don't mean to be rude but claiming an official developer supported OS made by real programers is a cause for a mods problems (Made by hex edditors, and hobbyists) is pritty low. PR works just fine under Vista with normal instal and any version will work. (Thats for BF2 a much older game that oh BTW works just fine as well)

I'm not even going to bother replying to this issue again other than to give you a warning that courtesy rules are in effect on our forums. You've shouted this before and we've explained before.  We'll fix things as soon as we are capable of doing so, and we're constantly trying to learn new things so that we can fix the problems.
