I've seen it over 360MB. My system was using 506MB total. However if I close the game and come back in it drops back to 200MB. Its a good thing I have 1GB now :) I tried to get it higher but it seems to be locking up my PC now after about 1 hour! I lowered my CPU Overclock but it did not help. I doubt it is the new memory as I use over 800MB when running .NET in vmware and I have no problems.

So did the 1gig help? If the performance issues and level of diffulty can be taken care of, then it would be a superb game. Is there a patch for SC4?

I have not seen complete system usage go over 506MB yet. The game locks the system up now before I've been in long enough for it to get much higher. I wonder what it takes on citys around 100-200k? I've only got it up to 86K. Right now though it does not take long to drop back to about 75k! The large apartments are starting to get abandoned. I get it up another 10K or so and it drops back to the 70's. Traffic is OK (very extensive subway), health, education and pretty much everything else is maxed out. My satisfaction level is 1 notch from the highest. They want more industrial but everytime I change a zone to industrial it kills the residential or business :mad: If business dies residental follows. There is no free space on the map to add anything.
