	quote: Originally posted by John There is nothing stopping xp from using more than 1gig of physical ram. thats what i thought. tbh, i can remember seeing something in the bios/registry to allow the use of RAM when your graphics card ram is used up (during gaming). AGP Apereture rings a bell, but i dont think its that tbh

	Its something specific to your install anyway. There is no reason for xp to only use 1 gig.

	quote: Originally posted by John There is nothing stopping xp from using more than 1gig of physical ram. then why does it refuse to... linux can use it all fine if need be (using blender to render silly big images) but xp, whether using 3dsmax, bf2, etc... just never goes above 1gig

	quote: Originally posted by Cybermonkey with 2GB of RAM, i dont think the HDD will affect speed much when it comes to graphic rendering... yes but XP can only manage to use 1 gig of the available ram, I have 2gig in mine, and no matter how much I load up shit on XP, it never uses more than 1gig of physical ram!

	getting over 10k is the tricky bit Bart, as it takes an X1900XT or Geforce 7xxx in SLi to breach 10,000. i would like to see a purchasable computer than can bust the 13k mark other than this one...
