Im not sure, there is a thread about virtual memory somewhere created by the allknowing Mogura.
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

I have the same problem with you too.  I updated everything that is connected to PS, but mine still shuts off too.  About the virtual memory, doesn\'t your computer free some space in your virtual memory.  That\'s what my computer did to mine.

It depens, since there are different kind of RAM. I have 512mb dual DDR RAM (2*256mb), which is more than enough. I think that 128 might be a to little, and I would advise you to buy atleast one more 128mb stick.

The PS client eats up about 300 MB of virtual memory (for Iamthom  ;) ), maybe more sometimes. About half of this (or a little less) is willing to stay in physical memory on the motherboard. Of course, this could change from one configuration to another, it\'s just the case for me without any exhaustive tests.

Which means you will probably have a lot of swapping on your computer. But I am not sure enough and don\'t want to discourage you : try and run it to see by yourself.

The OS you are using may also need more or less memory, depending on its version and the settings. XP is quite hungry, usually.

Are you sure the amount of memory you are talking about is on the motherboard ? Or is it the memory of the graphic card ?
