As a beta tester of PlanetSide I can tell/warn you that it uses about 925M of RAM...so if you don't have at least a gig of RAM, you are going to get lag since you will constantly be swapping to/from virtual memory. Hopefully the beta is compiled with lots of debug code and the memory usage for the final version will go down.

I got 512 MB it just depends how you set your settings. :rolleyes: It even works fine with 256...

*shrug*. When Crimson had 512M of ram, the game was slow and laggy. Turned out it was using more memory than she had. Now that she has a gig, it uses about 256M of RAM when you first spawn, but once you walk out into an area where there are vehicles etc, you can alt-tab and check and it will be using 900M+. It's not just me others have checked and gotten the same numbers.

Maybe turning all the graphics details down to minimum makes it use less RAM, I havn't tried that.
