[QUOTE="TheDuffman26"]*12888mb Looks like it's all there, whats the problem? Also, what is the exact model of your memory? It looks like it is running at 1066MHz (533x2) You might want to go into the BIOS enable the XMP profile under memory settings.TheDuffman26

what im trying to do is play rollercoaster tycoon 3 at max w/ donwloaded content and im big amusement park.. but for seme reason the bigger my park gets, the lower my framerate dips.. i just wanted to know if my ram is being utilized when i play it cuz i figure that w/ all my ram, i shouldnt get a slow down (or an occasional crash) since the game is like 6 years old, u know

I have 3 questions.. (im such a newb)

1) is 1066mhz (533x2) considered fast?

2) how do i go into the BIOS and enable the xmp profile..?

3) what does that do?

On your Vista side bar, right click and add a gadget. Then click on "get more gadgets online". Then under the "Top Rated" tab, scroll down and install the "All CPU Meter". That way you can see how much total ram you have and how much is being used. 1. 1066MHz is lowend for DDR3, but its still good, but not fast. 2. I press the "del" button right when I turn on my machine to go into the BIOS. Look around in the memory settings for an XMP profile option, but not every motherboard/ram will ahve that option. I suggest looking in your motherboard manual for more specific info for your mobo. 3. When you enable the XMP profile, it will automatically set your RAM to it's specifications. For example, before I enabled my xmp profile, my RAM was running at 1066MHz and higher timings. After I enabled XMP, my RAM was set to specification at 1600MHz 8-8-8-24. Also, as far as Rollercoaster Tycoon goes, make sure you have the latest driver out from Nvidia for your gtx 295. If you do already, try going into the nvidia control panel and turn off SLI. See if that improves the game. If not, something is wrong.... your system should not blink an eye with that game lol

btw, how do i overclock my i7 920 processor? what are the steps to that... also how do i overclock my videocard also?

specs:

nvidia Gtx 295 1792mb (1.7gb's)
consiar 12gb's of ddr3 ram
core i7 920 (quad)
rampage 2 motherboard
antec 1200 case (7 fans built in)
velociraptor 150gb x 2 hdd
antec 1000w power supply
vista ultimate 64 bit

(i posted pics b4...)


I know its overkill but I heard that vista 64 only reads up to 4gigs of ram.. how do I make it read more than 4 gigs (it doesnt have to be all 12 gigs i just want to know how much more can i enable it to read)

and I dont want to sound like a newb but can someone give me a walk through?

These specs are incredible. You would have no problem in running GTA IV at a good frame rate or max out Crysis at high settings.

thanks, as of now im still waiting for my 2nd gtx 295 to ship but here's a preview of my rig as it is now . . .

[QUOTE="massmedia"]

I hate to post in my own thread again but i really wanna know where i wasted my money.. (im a noob to cpu gaming)

can you explain to me please?

paraskhos_basic

wat i think he means is that mayb he thinks ur going for an overkill 1st thing i wanna know is at wat resolution will u game at coz that is very important and i really dnt think u need 12 gb of ram even 8 gb is more than enough also 2 gtx 295 is not ideal if u ask me a single 295 shld do the trick but if u want to have 2 u shld consider wat res u will game it so to answer ur qs tell me ur resolution plz

2560x1200 (maxed res for crysis) and/or any res below that if the fps isnt sufficient enough for me.

thanks for the suggestions..

but i originally bought this pc for crysis and other games in the future that will need a lot to played at every maxed out as smooth as possible...

i said if im going to put money into a gaming rig, i might as well do it big, you know?

when you said i wasted money, i thought you were going to tell me that i bought something that didnt match (lol) but i see thats the the case so i feel much better.. .

anyways, thanks for answering my question, i was getting nervous thinking that a 1000w power supply wasnt going to be enough...
