SO..fixed my RAM problem but I'm not getting my high score again.


I just checked dxdiag and it says W7 64 bit Home Premiuim
and my display memory size says 4095....does that mean it's registering my 2gb card or not?

it says current display mode 1920x1080 (32 bit)
If you have Win7 64 bit then it was a RAM issue you fixed by reseating them. There is no switching modes. Win7 64bit will run 32bit programs (x86 architecture) and 64bit.

4096 dxdiag memory is a common dxdiag error and not your card. Use GPU-Z to check your VRAM it will be accurate.

1920x1080 (32 bit) = Resolution X by Y (32-bit = the color depth) 32-bit in simple terms means 24-bit (true color) supporting 16,777,216 colors with 8-bits for the alpha channel (Transparency). 24+8 = 32

Example, the Nintendo Entertainment System was only 8-bit, so it only supported a 256 color palette.

As far as why you are not getting your original score, RaineMagus gave a good general guide. If you feel you lack the experience. I suggest asking a local more tech oriented friend to help guide you first hand.
