Stuttering dreams

August 25, 2008 7:01 PM from

I am running an vista home premium machine with amd x2 5000+ and an xfx geforce 8200 mb. with two gb off ram. My nvidia drivers are current. I am noticing quite a bit of stuttering in the video when i am using large dreams. (like utopia prime) I check task manager and notice that explorer jumps from 75,000 k to 169,000k. This seems like a lot of memory usage. Any thoughts.

If I'm not mistaken that's the onboard integrated graphics on the motherboard right? It's stuttering because it can't handle the dreams. Consider upgrading to a mid-range card (8600, 9600 etc) assuming your board has a PCI/e slot.

Regarding the memory, that is perfectly normal. Dreamscene takes around 100-150MB of ram to operate and it puts it onto the explorer.exe
