Default Memory Upgrades

Thanks Trucker,


Right now I'm just going to wait for the update patches when they are released. I looked into a memory up-grade and was just about to install it and I thought I would give DELL Tech. a call. The young fella' on the other end was very knowledgeable. He said it was a definite NO-NO to just throw in some more Ram in my machine. He gave a detailed explanation why and what would happen? Bottom line.... Kiss my Motherboard good-bye! He said "save your money, you don't need it." BTW, 128 Mb. of Dell Ram is around $500.cdn OUCH! Makes ya wonder don't it, when you can go downtown and get 256Mb. for $75.
Apparently a lot of people with Dell 8100 series have cooked their MB's because of doing just that. (Any comment here RJMCOM?)
My game runs the same whether I have 40% or 93% of free Ram? My G2 has always ran flawlessly along with any other game I have so far. I'm not saying that that's not the problem, I just want to eliminate all others first before I spend a whack of cash to go take on the Luftwaffe.

Trucker. Do you actually have the Microsoft CFS 3 installed on your machine and did the memory up-grade cure your problem?
