More RAM, need 64bit Windows to access it.

 

It was meant to speed things up :(

 

And yeah - I updated all the drivers and it made no difference.

Can you run MemTest86+ to check that the RAM is ok?

 

(maybe you got a dodgy stick?)

I ran the Windows 7 memory test thing from the install disk and that came up OK.

I wouldn't trust the Microsoft one, but that might just be unfounded paranoia.

 

Can you sacrifice two of your best sheep to Minerva?

Sheep are turned off :(

Actually, Pete may have a point. After all, you did have to remove one of the ram sticks to get Windows installed in the first place. Perhaps that one is a bit iffy?

Had to remove all but one of them.

 

Strangely, though, it's now installing happily with all my hardware connected :|

so, once again, re-seat the RAM seems to have done the trick? ;)

2GB tbh!

 

:((

If anyone's arround and want's to have a try feel free. I'm still installing Windows Updates so will be restarting in about 10-20 minutes, but everything else is good to go I think.

 

First impressions from my Laptop are looking promising.

Very tempting, but can't risk sleeping in tomorrow. :(


Maybe if I end up waking myself too soon I'll have a quick wander in the morning instead. (If it'll be online then?)


Night night.

It's working good again :)

All looking good now. Going to finish installing Windows Updates and then it's good to go.

 

According to Jon it's running as fast as singleplayer :D

's right good is that :D

Right, it is back up and up for good*.

 

I've just had a quick blast from the PC itself, so obviously no network lag at all, but by fuck it's nice and fast and smooth :D

 

The Server is now running from a RAM Disk, and has 3GB of RAM to play with on top of that.

 

I have turned off auto-heal and turned on monsters, but they don't seem to be turning up. Just wandered around int he dark for a night and didn't find any, so perhaps i need to play with that some more tomorrow. But if you find any monsters let me know.

 

Finally, I've never played Minecraft on a proper PC before, only ever on the laptop. Big screen + fancy graphics + furthest view distance is like playing a completely different game :D

...Map? :$

I spoke too soon!! :D

I would do one, but its not like you ever check the map page anyway.

Oh, I forgot the *.

 

*[obvious statement about until I break it again it need to reboot or whatever]

Does it not fit the whole world on anymore?
