I added a 512MB PC3200 Stick that matches my other stick exactly to my
computer. It's now running in Dual-Channel DDR mode with 1GB of total RAM.
After I log in and hit the Play button, it goes to a black screen like it
normally does, but then it quits the game to the desktop, no errors or
nothing, just quits the game....I was wondering if this has happened to
anyone before and if so, how did you fix it? I will copy my specs given by
the SWG Options page to this message and you guys can check it out for
yourself. I cannot figure it out. Maybe the game can't run in Dual-Channel
mode for some reason, I'll give that a go....let me know what you guys
think...oh, BTW, I e-mail SWG Support on this about an hour ago, just for
the hell of it, should be funny to see how they think I should resolve this
issue...I can see it now.."well, was it working before you put in that 2nd
stick of RAM? yes....Well, I guess you should just take out that stick of
RAM then." LOL...anyways, thanks...

windows memory diag http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

Run either of those on your new stick, my guess is that it's gonna fail.

No, my RAM is fine, I always run MemTest on new RAM for 1-2 hours prior to
actually running it fully on my system...any other suggestions?
