    Memory

    I have just bought TS2 and i love it, and it does all work ok, but it uses up so much of my computors memory, i now have hardley any memory left on my computor for my work etc. Is there anything i can do to solve this?

    The only thing I could really suggest would be buy more RAM. If you want professionals to do that, they will do it at Best Buy for about $30, in addition to cost of RAM. They should be able to determine what kind you need...

    Also, if this is something you prefer to do yourself, there is a system scanner at http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ that will help you determine what kind of memory will work with your system.

    Hope that helped,

    If you are talking about your harddrive space, it's possible to add a second harddrive so that you have more room. Or backup your current harddrive to Cds or DVDs and replace the current harddrive with a new one.

    Yes, the game is pretty big. But if you are that tight for harddrive space, that's a problem anyway. You want to have at least 15-25% of your drive completely free so that the drive has room to do a proper defrag.

    If you are talking about RAM memory, that's a tougher one in some ways. The game is meant to be played without anything else going on in the background. It may help to add more RAM or upgrade your RAM to a faster type (if your motherboard supports the newer PC3200 400hz DDR RAM, as opposed to the older and slower 133hz, 266hz or 333hz). But I'm not sure if that would allow you to work and play at the same time.

    I hope this at least gives you some ideas where to start.
