Is CoH using all my ram?

I remember a thread awhile back about a command you can run to ensure that CoH uses both sticks of RAM in a dualcore setup, but for the life of me I cannot find the thread.

Anyone know what this entails?

The details are the command has nothing to do with RAM (it referred to threads of commands sent to the processor) and is outdated. CoH will utilize 2 available cores by default for a while now without any special instruction. That's probably why you can't find it anymore.

Um, I hate to break it to you, but your computer treats all of your RAM as a single pool to draw from. It doesn't matter how many discrete sticks of RAM you have. There can be performance issues, if they are not properly matched sticks, but your total available RAM is a still a single pool.

Now, if you mean that you want CoH to use all of the CPU cores of your multi-core system, then, again you're in luck, because CoH now Defaults to using all of the processing power available (that it can use).

Are you having some particular trouble, that you think you need to adjust your computer to compensate?

Well!

Oh cool deal, thanks you two! I'm not having any issues, just did a clean re-install of xp, wanted to make sure i'm getting all the bells an whistles I can out of CoH.

I believe the command you are 'thinking' of is -renderthread 1
This is for assuring multicore support for CPUs nothing to do with ram.
Just open up windows task manager and see how much ram you are using while in game.


Don't be a mindless farm toon, we may need you on a non-soft SF someday. =)
