Memory Usage?

[RedRangerBozo]

I've seen a lot of posts about memory issues, but few ever discuss how much BF2 actually uses. I have a strange situation myself. After a map loads, BF2 shoots up to using 712 meg (listed in the processes tab). A friend of mine, with nearly the same setup (except he has dual channel memory, same amount), using the same game settings, if not more, uses less than 300 meg.

Why am I using so much more, and always a consistent amount? I have 1 gig of physical memory, and the game runs fine. I'm just curious, why the big discrepancy?

I will say this..

I have 2 gig of corsair DDR2 and use 60 percent of it on the norm while playing BF2.

You your self said your friend uses ddr and see's about half the utilization (That would make perfect sense)

The discrepancy is double data sdram vs reg sdram.

Yea my sys uses about 950 or so MB when running on my system, so thats about right.
