Kooky Lighting With New Laptop - BV & Freetime
jolrei:
If the ground textures show up properly on some occasions, but degrade when you change angles, zoom out, etc., it may simply be a matter of not enough RAM available, and the computer is compensating. Install moar RAMZ and see what happens.

Uhh... More Rams it is then. My dad has another 2GB RAM chip in his laptop. I'll take it out later and put it it mine, see how things go with it. Vista is only 32bit though, not sure how much I'll gain from that.
You'll get the whole 4Gb, pretty much, though Vista will only report 3.5Gb. Windows moves stuff up into high RAM (pointers to video memory, stuff like that) that uses up a chunk of memory. With 4GB, it moves that stuff into the top .5 that you can't use anyway, leaving pretty much all of the lower 3.5 available. Even with all my drivers, antivirus, etc loaded, cacheman reports around 3.1Gb available (under XP -- YMMV).

I gave it a shot. I put the other 2GB chip in and removed the 512MB I had. I couldn't really tell any change system wise. My Windows Vista score stayed the same (4.8), but it did recognize the memory. The game worked perfectly though, I didn't see any graphical glitches that I could tell. However, when I went back to my memory the game didn't glitch again. It continued to work correctly. I don't know if it's going to come back or not, but I don't think I will upgrade the memory just yet.
