After a lot of problems with my old system that worked flawlessly for almost 2 years, I found that one of the memory sockets had gone bad. Not the memory but the socket on the board.
SO I replaced the board with a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R mother board. The other components are the Intel i7 920, with 3 Gig Ram, Delta 1010LT and ATI Radion HD 4600 with 1 gig dedicated video mem , Acer AL2216W, and Win 7 ultimate. This Rackmont has 5 hard drives (approx 6 TB) for videos (Indian and American), Karaoke and Audio.
Everything works fine until I run videos and then the system says it does not have enough continuous memory. I updated the virtual memory to 10 Gigs. The memory messages no longer appear. When I play two videos, at some point the one gets cracks in the sound and performance is set to safe mode.
I have optimized using Black Viper's settings and no improvement.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong and have struggled with this for a while. originally started with XP, which caused problems with the video card. Then I installed Vista Ultimate 32 bit which fixed the video card problems. Finally decided that since I am using a 64 bit processor, that the OS should also be 64 bit.
All drivers are upto date.
I am going to try the latency checker. I suspect the internal sound card.
For the most part, I don't intend to connect this rackmount to the internet, so should I bother installing MS Security essentials?

Update:
No latency issues.
Video freezes on and off, not just the preview but the master as well.
audio cracks when safe mode is off.
HELP!

There used to be an issue with some ATI video cards, this could be one of those cards, but hopefully someone with more experiance can chime in.. I'm just regurgitating things I have read

This video card worked fine under Vista, but who knows, maybe there is a problem with Win 7 and this card.
I'll try searching the forums for discussions on this.
Thanks!

Ok, I solved my own problem.
I went back and looked thru all the memory setting and found that the quota system had been turned on. It is now off and am running a stress test over night.
I sure hope that was all!

Ok, No such luck,
The system did not crash but only played about 8 videos in the wait list before it started to give errors about the lack of continous memory available.
I found this very confusing as it says there are only 48 MG available out of 4095 MG, yet I only have 3 GB of ram.
When I monitor performance, initially only about 400 MB of ram are being used without virtual. When I load virtual it goes to 600+ MB. On the first deck loaded with video it goes to up very slowly until it's in the 2900 +. This is where the error messages start for videos in the wait list.
How much ram is required for Virtual on a 64 Bit machine running Win 7?
