Ram Boost Mod

[Chrisfo3]

Guys I just downloaded the Ram Boost mod for fallout 3 because my game keeps crashing when I have the texture pack (Performance) mod. It also freezes up when I come into contact with Gargantuans from the MMM. Other than that it plays well. So I decided to try this mod to make my machine run more 2GB to see if it helps.

 

Question is and I am sorry if this seems noobish of me, but I downloaded the Ram Boost mod and followed the pictorial instructions exactly and I need to know, I am running FOSE, does this Ram Boost mod take effect when starting the game up in FOSE? I am pretty sure it does, just wanted to be sure, and if for some reason if it doesn't, can anyone instruct me on how to get it to work with FOSE loader exe.?

 

Thank you for any help provided

Which one did you use? I am currently using this: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/6510 and it works all the time, no matter how you start the game.

I downloaded Ram Boost from Mod Reloaded, sounds like these are basically doing the same thing. I wanted to be sure though

A ram boost mod makes a direct modification to the game's executable itself. So it doesn't really matters through what tool one starts the game, and thus, that very executable.

 

Be advised that even though a "ram boost" mod allows the game to address over 2 gigs of ram, it still won't be able to address over 4 gigs of ram.

Ok thanks BlackRampage, my rig is pretty old and in need of a new makeover and I currently have 4 gigs of ram. As long as I can get it to access more than 2 gigs should help my crashing....I hope
