| 389188 | 2005-09-18 12:49:00 | Hi i had 128 mbram then I added a 512 SDRAM Stick on a 700mhz machine ,which made it 640, my grapics card is sis 630/730 onboard. i have set graphics aperture to 256mb & vga shared memory to 64mb but still my boot up is slower than before ( 4-5 sec difference) and i am not able to run EACricket 2004 smoothly( laags alot). before when i had 128 ram i use to free up abit off ram and play the game but now its laggging even though i have 640 mb ram installed. the only use off the extra ram is that i can run 2 or more programs at a time without any problem & the programs open faster. |

| 389190 | 2005-09-18 14:01:00 | add as much ram as you like, it won't change anything. the SIS 630/730 is a pretty low-spec video card, I don't think it will like running anything from 2004 very well... But if you have windows 98 on the computer it may be your problem, as it doesn't really like anything above 512mb.. decreasing the AGP aperture might help though. |

| 389195 | 2005-09-19 23:52:00 | Put your shared memory and agp apperture sizes back to what they were on and your game should run at the same speed as before. I would speculate that the increased shared video memory is actually slowing down the graphics as the graphics controller is likely to be reading and writing bigger/more textures into that shared (and much slower) memory. | BIFF (1) | ||
