<< Finger pointing is EXACTLY what is going on here, in fact that is what I was saying when Maddy jumped all over me a couple pages ago. >>
Not jumped, pointed out your errors is all.
I have not seen Turbine post anything saying it is YOUR problem, too bad. They have said they are aware of the issue, are and have looked into it, but can't find the cause yet, or even duplicate the problem.
Try re-formmating, do not install a single other application, but do install the latest drivers/patches for Windows. Does the issue happen then? Let me know the results and we can go from there.
Not to sit here and nitpick, but what are you dicussing that gets this going towards a solution?
Post those stats of those systems... What versions of EVERYTHING you are running. Heck even include patches you install. I learned from years of tech support.. on a clean system, if you don't always update with the latest patches, sometimes you rollback to a time when the software your having an issue with was created... This then can be realized, and new patches added 1 at a time, that will fix this issue.
I bet it is something with direct x 9.0C. I am almost certain.

I just peaked a 1.09 Gb usage after 20 hours run on my trade bot: Win Xp fully updated, Pentium IV 3.4 Ghz processor, 1 Gb 800 DDR ram, Ati X 600 256 Mb Pci express Video Card ( it's a laptop ) with only Decal + Muletrader running.
Sad....

Starting with a clean system, with latest patches/drivers and go from there? Silly idea, but I'm amazed at how often I see it work in my place of work when solving various computer issues a person is having.

Solved it.
I started with a Clean System.
It's still clean.
It may stay clean for some time to come.

New computer: Check
Install Windows XP: Check
Hit update until there are no updates left to install: Check
No other drivers installed (Printers, Camera, etc): Check
Installed Asheron's Call: Check
Installed Decal and 2 other TPAs: Check (willing to remove and clean registry)
Offered to send computer free of charge to Turbine to use to find this problem, including paying shipping TO Turbine: Check
Turbine rejected offer: Check
Been Director of Computer Operations for a company that ships over 300 PCs and over 650 embemded controllers per year and develops custom software for the Electronic News Gathering and Airborne Law Enforcement industry for over 16 years, not to mention keeping every office PC operational: Check
Don't trust Turbine to bother looking into this problem and just play "lip service" to the player base until DDO and MEO are released: Check
Now, Maddy, seriously, WTF more do you want people to do? People have OFFERED to send PCs to Turbine that have been SPECIFICALLY formatted with ONLY the updates from Microsoft (ALL of them) and not much else, and Turbine rejects the offer.
Hell, they won't even respond to PMs anymore. I'll do you one better, when I get home, I'll completely reformat a PC, reinstall the OS, do ALL the updates AGAIN, and never install ANYTHING but Asheron's Call and try it out. I will bet you $1000 that not only will the problem persist, but Turbine will still refuse to accept the offer to lending it to them for evaluation.

Isn't this problem an expanding one, IE: the longer you stay connected, the more severe it becomes until an inevitable system crash?
