2x XFX NVidia GeForce 8600GTS SLi + Windows Vista Ultimate = memory leak!

[Kaleath]

Hey all,well I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem but everytime I run thru towns (ie. Kelethin or Q) EQ2 crashes to desktop with a memory access violation msg.. 4GB of memory one would think is enough..anyways, I'll try the latest NVidia drivers tonight (169.25_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_w hql) but somehow I doubt it'll be resolved.. anyone out there can shed some light on this for me please?<span style="color: #006600;">/rant</span> and it's so nice of Microsoft to release SP1 for Vista.. to TechNet subscribers *only*... so much for customer support, my EQ2 tells me it needs SP1 as it has compatibility issues with this version of Windows.. <span style="color: #006600;">/endrant</span>

I had an issue with 32 bit Vista running with 4 gigs...and it was SLOWER than with 2 gigs. It also crashed constantly until I pulled 2 gigs..Also of note...there are some varying issues with SLI, 8x series video cards, X-Fi sound cards and so much more...((funny how it is a specific group of hardware and setups))..May want to look at other threads here to see what we are doing..I went to XP and at least have a modicum of stability as Vista just does not cut it..Good luck!

Ok, Thanks for the heads up Openedge, I'll try removing 2GB and test, it's Vista 32 bit btw.. sounds like windows ME all over again..
