Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?
banned for the argument doesn't really matter. If it can be made to run, that's what matters.
Banned for craving for cookies.
Wait WHAT? 
SoaSE is a 32-bit app?
Still, I dont think it matters if you're playing it on a 64-bit OS. And thats because I dont think (although not sure) that 32-bit apps are being memory limited when running on a 64-bit environment.
On Win 7 32-bit, windows literally cant see the remaining memory, and will only install and recognize up to 3.25 GB of system RAM. Same goes for all 32-bit Win. But on 64-bit, where there is no limit (I think its up to 32 GB, but it doesnt matter), if you run a 64-bit program, or a 32-bit, its the same thing. Because the installed memory is always the same.
And again, 32-bit Windows can use up to 3.25 GB, not 2 GB. If you want to run other things on the background while playing SoaSE, thats a different story.
About Windows XP, it can run on less than 400 MB, the 1.25 GB you're talking about is crazy, you have to really try to make it to 1.25 gb without playing a game.
Even for Win 7 standards, 1.25 GB is a lot. If want to have your system memory permanently loaded with lots of applications, then stop being cheap and get Win 7 64-bit, and/or install more ram. I guess you're one of those people who dont know what msconfig is, am I right, Ryat? 
Still, even if msconfig is on default, Win 7 will NOT use 1.25 GB of ram, unless you are being stupid and have things running on the background constantly.
And if you can see at task manager your memory loading +2 GB and Sins starting to crawl, then its probably something to do with the game, not your system.
Are you telling me that because Sins is a 32-bit application, and running it on 64-bit makes it unable to use more than 2 GB of ram without using any page file? Thats ridiculous.
banned for yes SoaSE is a 32-bit app
banned for yes it does matter in certain instants (ex. Sins) but not all the time
banned for yes 32-bit Windows can run on less than 400 MB, I use a variety of tools to keep it as low as 100 MB (yes it can be done)
banned yes I do know msconfig, I have messed with computers when DOS was the big thing and Windows was a fancy DOS program
banned for yes it has to do with the game and not the system
banned for yes Sins cannot use more than 2 GB of RAM, even the developers have noted that
edit ban for yes you have found a button of mine that you can push, congrats
banned for... well, buttons?
Morph, the developers said it, the guys who program the mods say it, and even some of the most useful guys floating around here say it (whatever their background). That and I have tested it along with three or four others I chat with.
It's true.
Banned for hating questions....wanna play 20 questions? 
Pretty lame, but its a 3 year old game (right?), so I guess its normal.
That pretty much says it all.
I am at 230 MB, without using any tools, only some slight adjustments to msconfig, and with everything installed, including Eset Smart Security, which consumes ~60 MB by itself. Windows XP, of course.
Good for you.
Like I said....
FAIL 
Hope this gets fixed (if its not fixed already).
Is that so? 
So whats your button then? SoaSE stuff, or computer related knowledge stuff? I would say both, but maybe its the latter.
I didnt say its not true. I said its ridiculous. In fact, I guessed it must be the game's issue:
Oh and, Ryat, Banned for too many bans in 1 post.
Banned for thinking I post my garbage. I usually throw them out.
Banned because my dog Gadget did something funny today: we have a single one-story office building in our neighborhood with a shiny glass door. My dog walks up to his reflection, and starts growling and snarling at it.
