I have 256 megs. of real ram with another 512 meg. in VM.I have 400000k(think I tried 500000k too) allocated to moh with system memory taking about 61 megs alone at startup(b/c of disk cache setting at max). I typically boost my memory anyway out of habit, especially since it has helped fix crashes in other games.
You really, really, really need to think about getting more RAM. Having to realy on VM for memory is not a good thing. You have 768 MB total "RAM" included VM? Or does the VM setting say 512 MB? If the latter, then you're giving waaaaaaaay too much memory to the game. OpenGL likes at least 50 MB of free RAM after the OS and application partitions. 100 is typically a safe number.
It was 768 meg. total. And yes I realize I could use more RAM, that requires time to go buy (when you work full time and go to school, well . . .).

You need to drop that setting dramatically. You're starving OpenGL of texture memory! (There's another thing I haven't had to say in a long time.) MOHAA doesn't benefit from having hundreds of megs of extra memory thrown at it. If you find the default setting to be too low, increment it in steps of 16 megs at a time, not 100 megs.
For test purposes I lowered memory to 384meg (256 meg real with another 128 meg in VM) and turned the disk cache back to default so the system only took about 35 megs at startup. I also set MOH back at 256000k and incremented by 16000k, still no go. Thanks for trying anyway.
As to why I set it so high: I was tired of apps running out of memory and it worked.
