I was also having some difficulty with NWN, mostly due to the game using up all my resource and RAM, thus crashing when it got beyond it's cap. I have Win98, with 512MB SDRAM, but am told that WIn98 has no idea how to properly use that RAM. I had my settings to where Windows was controlling the size of the available Virtual Memory. Alot of people gave me alot of ideas, but finally, after sifting through all those idea, I decided to go with the majority of the vote, and told Windows that I would control the Virtual Memory. I set the minimum to 512MB, and the Maximum to 1,024MB. I also set the VM to run on a quiet, never used partition of my Harddrive...so that it would have more runinng space without bumping into other apps. So far, I have not crashed.
Therefore, if you are having issues with cache size...find the best way for your OS to manage how the memory is used. There are alot of guys on this forum that know alot about it, but alot of them don't agree with one another. [img]smile.gif[/img]
BY the way...turn everything off that you do not need running while playing.
