Default 1 MB short of ram

To clarify my original advice in light of replies since -
I'm not a "gamer" - assumed that you had read the "graphics required" spec
of the game before attempting to use it, and that your graphics card was up
to the job (reasonable assumption since your reported error was "RAM
shortage".

A decent graphics card adds substantial dedicated Video RAM, reducing the
demand on conventional RAM.

re - (conventional) RAM is cheap right now .... I don't recommend "cheap"
RAM chips.
I only use Crucial (guaranteed) chips. Price base is dollars. I live in
UK - thanks to weakness of the $ v/s £, (about 25% this last year or so),
memory which cost me GBP40 a year ago is now around GBP30 - so, for UK, RAM
is most definately cheap right now in comparison!

Concensus of advice to date is that your PC spec isn't currently up to the
needs of this game. Adding conventional RAM will improve things somewhat, at
relatively low coat, but a decent graphics card (about 4 times the cost) is
the better option for gaming. Good luck!
