Yeah I finally did it, I broke down a few months ago and started to order the parts for a Dualie-SLI rig. Slapped it all together this past weekend , and started to load up my library of titles.

So far only one title has been rendered un-playable. It is that classic AvPgold. ( already know about setting the 'core-affinity' for any titles that may have an issue ) When setting it up under options, the game tells me that it detects my Nvidia 7600GT s ( patched with latest WHQL drivers ), which kind of surprised me.

Everything goes along as per usual, till I launch any missions/skirmishes. That is when I am informed that my video cards do NOT have sufficient RAM to play the game.

Knowing that is not the issue, I am operating under the presumption that the game does not recognize these video cards, and therefore are 'assigning' zero RAM capacity to them.

Does anybody have any insight to this issue? Played fine on my old XP cr8.

Being a card newer in design than the game is certified for shouldn't create problems. It may be worth while to describe the problem to the game's vendor to see what they think. Could be a simple solution with a specific setting. A lot of programs will post a notation about the class of components, but fail to properly recognize them. A lot of programs warn about a CD ROM being "less than" 8x when in reality it is 36x.
There may be a patch that is needed from their site.
