COD4 memory hog?

[RussianHAXOR]

I was just playing COD4 and it was using OVER A GIG of memory alone...

I know and expected crysis to be doing this, but even crysis only used about 750-800mb of ram... nothing like a GIG. Seriously, wtf is going on?

Btw, Vista Ultimate 64bit edition. Could it be tied to Vista itself?

Its not Vista, COD4 likes to cache everything in memory. When I used to play in the higher populated servers 32v32 mem usage would sometimes creep around 1.5gb.

if you have enough memory... what's the problem?

This is what ram is for...I would like my games to use more.

I love how fast CoD 4 loads levels.

When I wait for a 4v4 game start in AOE3:AD, if can fire up COD4 and play a few rounds till the game gets full (though I do have to wait for the level to load if I want to alt tab back into AOE3.

I mean, i do have 4 gigs of ram, but i prefer to see my memory gauge below 50%

So you like to have ram you paid for sit unused?

I pay for my ram to blink!

You could have saved alot of money by only buying 2 gigs =/
