Freezes at saving
Phoenix_Aeris:
In reply to wizard_merlin: I have a intel core i7 2.66 GHz CPU, a Caviar green 1TB HDD and 4gigs of RAM (for some reason windows wont reconise the last 2gigs that I have installed). The changes that I had made for my save was my sim walking from one room to another.
If it is a system problem, any ideas on how I can make it quicken up again?

I an running an Intel i7 965 3.2 GHz CPU and 12 GB RAM with Nvidia GTX295 (Dual Board) graphics card, and it can still take a while. I have been advised by my local computer shop that the Caviar Green drives only spin at about 5000rpm, not the usual 7200rpm of regular drives, but can't verify at the moment. That could be part of the slowdown you are seeing in saves.
If your system isn't recognising the extra 2 Gb of RAM, that could also be contributing to the problem. Are you sure the extra RAM module is installed properly and working?
Edited: fixed your = you're = you are
Jeeves:
Also need a 64-bit version of windows for more than 4 gigs (more or less 3.5 actually) of ram to be used. From what I've gathered Vista and later will see the ram but not use it. If you have 4 gigs installed but it is only seeing 2, that's another problem.
As for long save times, my machine (which is a bit of a beast) has only experienced long saves if my 'hood went BFBVFS. Although that's probably not much help to you.

I was so trying to resist the urge to nag.

Damn it. Nag away. I have been working on it.
