I'm kind of getting tired of this so I thought I'd throw my suggestion in written form here.
I have 1500 megs of ram, yet when running L2 it INSISTS on useing file paging, even when only 25% of my RAM is being used.
Well, virtual ram like this is infinitely slower, which lags the game something fierce.
Please allow windows to allocate the memory usage, instead of bullheading memory requirments onto windows.
I second this. I have 1.5 Mb on my machine. I have drive caching turned off. When I play L2, I see about 300 Mb of memory being used, and I see my hdd light flashing constantly. By being able to make L2 reside in physical memory, it might make it more possible to use the computer for other things, while L2 is running.
Alot of the time, when in AFK shop, or even during regen time, I like to be able to minimize L2, and do some work, or check webpages, etc. With AFK shop, and hdd whirring away, can take a long time to even get a second program to load, or anything else for that matter.
you got my vote,
the HDs of todays machines are the bottle neck of the PC, your comp can only be as fast as your HD, just pick up a SATA II. and you will notice less annoying little laggy spikes. but they still will happen.
dont think you guys realize how the swap file works
just because you have 10% of your ram in use doesnt mean windows wont allocate memory to the page file

your problem is with microsoft not nc
uhhh, i dont think u do, microsofts windows is an OS, it doesnt tell the game what to do, the game tells it what to do. its called bad coding and memory allocation.
Hey did they fix this somewhat in C4??? I looked and noticed L2 is finally sucking up a good portion of my RAM, and things seem to be running better in the background???
