Sorry to hear that one. But it can often help on a variety of systems to free up memory for
some of the newer game designs. High end gaming machines will often use a pci-e dual card
setup for going the length. Your board does support the pci-e line of cards. But cost on dual
vpu or dual cards setups can climb fast. Running a memory tester on the installed memory is
another idea to see if your installed memory has any faults. If the memory is incompatable
with each other or has flaws that will effect games often as well.
Memtest V.165 can be found at:
http://www.memtest.org The old Linux utility is updated
for 64bit cpu support can tell if you have any problems with the current memory. Having the
same sized dimms in each slot can also be a help at times. Mismatched memory can have a
bad issue with game resolutions even with supposedly matched pairs if they are found to
have flaws or incompatibilty issues. Soldier of Fortune II, HALF LIFE2, NIGHTFIRE, and some
others would lock or crash to the desk when a matched pair was found with errors. So much
for the "matched" in matched pairs.
