Do I need a Replacement?

[FingolfinKing]

Ran a Memtest, came up with 4 errors. Do I need to replace the RAM? I have 2x1 GB Sticks. I'm pretty sure there are errors on both sticks.

If they are still under warranty then you might as well get them replaced. IF your not 100% sure that both sticks have errors. You can simply take on stick out and run memtest just to see if the errors are on both or just the one stick.

Yeah, they have errors, both of them. Basically what I meant was "do errors mean that I need replacements." Also, could this be the cause of some major lag on a really high end system?

As I said if they are under guarantee then yes. If they have errors it means (at least to my understanding) that in a or some circumstances the RAM will fail. Those circumstances may never occur.

As for loss of frames on a high-end system, I doubt it would be a factor.

Re: Do I need a Replacement?

I'm starting to think that the RAM might be having an effect on the performance, simply because it's been happening for quite some time; unsolvable by even a format. As well, the game uses quite a bit of RAM, and changing textures (the RAM-heavy option) is the only thing that makes the game run slightly better.
