I've downloaded all three just to have them. But now I've got to choose. So my question: does it matter which one I use? Which do you use and why?

The one I use is this one: http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

I am assuming the other two are also 4gb patches? If so, the end result is the same so it makes no difference which one you use. I prefer the ntcore.com one because it's a nice simple GUI that doesn't require any special batch files or anything.

Same here. It's straightforward, and it works.

is ram booster and this only 64 bit computers? i have 897 mhz ram

Long story short, yes.


I doubt that. But either way, it's nothing to do with it.

thank you for answer :confused:

Oops, sorry. I thought you'd written "64 bit operating systems". Well, it's only useful for those. Not just 64 bit computers.

So, if you're using Windows 7 64-bit or Vista 64-bit, you might find it useful. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. And if you're using Windows XP 64-bit? God help you.

actually xp 32 bit operating system processor x86 :facepalm:

I'm curious what the point of these external RAM boosting programs/launchers are as the best way to boost the RAM usage for the game is to edit the game .exe using a CFF Explorer and checkmark the "App Can Handle >2GB Addressset" (the same method as the Fallout 3 RAM Booster).

Atleast I'd imagine, it's what I use at least.

They auto set the LAA flag for those who don't know how to use CFFE.

Copy, run, copy. Done.

And those who simply can't be bothered. Not that's it at all difficult, I know.

If all it requires is a check in the box, why isn't it enabled by default? I'm guessing there must be some kind of drawback.

The RAM that's forbidden to normal applications that aren't LAA is meant to be used by the system. If every application could use that RAM, the system would crash on any intensive tasks.
