UT2004: How much memory

[jyi786]

How much memory does UT2004 take up in your rig?

I have 1GB and UT2004, after about 1 1/2 hour of gaming with it, takes up about 600MB+.

Interesting question, I'll have to check that when I get home. I have a GB of Ram and Ram hasn't been a problem. I don't understand why the amount of time played would matter though because unless there is a memory leak it shouldn't keep increasing.

About that much. It's a BIG program, and it's not a leak, it just caches more in memory as it goes. I'm upgrading to a gb for that program

It will take UP TO that amount. 1 GB is the sweet spot for gaming right now. Anything over that (for gaming) is overkill.

I use 1 GB of memory in my system, with no pagefile, and I am fine....so anything over 1 GB isn't needed (for gaming).

1gb is pretty necessary in the upcoming games.

Just bought it on Tuesday but didnt check the ram...I have a gig and no problems. I think the RAM may go up if it keeps the maps in ram after you play them, just a thought.

Ya I have 512, and load times are high, and after a long time of gaming when I quit, windows runs like crap. I'm headed to Frys tonight to upgrade to 1gb dual channel

you may want to check to see if you have preload maps checked if so, uncheck it found that helped a great deal with load times also.

Not preload maps, preload skins, and unless he turned it off, it's on. it's on be default if you have 512+mb.
