Res what are your specs because I find it hard to believe you were running BF3 on High with only 4 gigs of RAM.

i get the same thing, but only after playing MP for awhile will that start to happen. but once i switch to campaign its gone. so i'm guessing its server side or DICE or something.
IBIS 31337
Desktop PC Specs
OS: Win7 Home 32bit
Pro: Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 Ghz
Installed RAM: 8 GB, (3.24 usable because of 32bit Win 7 OS) :C
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5850 < This is a wonderful card for the price >
Total Available Graphical Mem: 2427 MB
My baby may need a few upgrades but she's a beast when it comes to a majority of games. (He age is starting to show a bit)
I can run BF3 SP campaign with Textures and Shadows on Ultra with smooth game play.
Also, I think Curdy may be right, I think larger servers are causing me?others? to have memory leaks, causing the horrible stuttering. Time shall tell.

err... You do not have 3.24 gigs of ram available. Vram gets added into total system ram.
Did you have a single good reason to go 32bit?
Anyways, what you could do is hack one stick to act as your Virtual disk.

I've lived with it for so long because I haven't found anything I need 64bit to run well, everything generally runs fine on mine.
Also Stars what are you talking about ? I can go into my system and TELL you that it's using around 3 Gigs of RAM, I've been looking for ways to force windows into using more of what I have. I found a CMDprompt command that would force it to use 3.99 GB of my first 4 GB card, but I didn't really want to force my system to alter is function, so I'd rather wait until I have the balls to pretty much wipe my comp clean and start a-new.
Am I talking out my ass? Honestly don't know that much about computers except for what to buy and what not to buy.
The beauty of reinstalling and having 64bit is I'll have a wiped TB C:\drive and only the games/files I use/play today. I just need to find my installation disc..
ALSO Also: What does BF3 crave out of a PC the most ? Video Card ? Processing powah ?

all of the above, as well as memory. theres been a huge memory leak on 64-player maps ever since beta. ea released this game way too soon.
IBIS 31337
I noticed this, 32 player servers run wonderfully.
Hardcore mode or NO MODE faggots.
EA did put love into this, you can feel it, it just STILL has kinks needed to be worked the fuck out. Feels like Red Orchestra 2 all over again.
-Most recent epic experience:
Forget the map, but there was an alley way, one side our forces the other side theirs. Put 2 40mm grenades down the alley, killing 2 of them. Advance. Open fire on doorway with 870 and lob grenade, kills one. Continue through their defensive line, move into next room and take up residence behind a dumpster and around the corner from where they would enter. Three come around said corner to refill the defensive position at their end of the ally. Shoot all three in the back with M1911 suppressed, starting with the lead, and working back. See teammate make entrance same way I came in, me and him run a muck behind enemy lines with knives drawn, causing death and silent chaos among their team. (Like 13 kills in last 3 minutes of game) (Also hardcore mode so no "I have to triple tap you in the back with my 45 caliber pistol in order to incapacitate you")
That is why this game is fucking amazing, gives YOU the player the ability to pull of awesome shit and get away with it!
tl;dr WHY DON'T YOU HAVE BF3 YET EH ?

not as awesome as pulling off continuous 200m headshots with the SV98, this was on Caspian Border, found myself a nice perch overlooking the Hilltop. they just kept spawning there trying to find me and i just kept picking them off one at a time, racked up like 13 kills.
but yeah this game is a memory hog and you kinda need 64bit Windows so you can use all your memory instead of getting capped at around 4gigs.
Fav conquest maps so far:
Caspian Border
Bazaar
Seine Crossing
Metro
haven't played the new Karkand map mostly cause i can't find any servers running it.
