Well, we may as well lock the thread.
Turbine is aware of the problem (yes there is a problem).
Turbine can't reproduce the problem (even though people have offered up their system spec's and even offered to mail them computers with the problem).
Ball is in Turbines court.

Why Lock it?
I thought I had a cure for the memory leak on my test mule PC... Then a funny thing happened...
As I monitored Memory usage during testing... as I loaded content doing a nonstop run across the landscape from Holtburg southbound... Memory Usage went from 115 MB to 377MB by the time I reached Arwic... No Decal
Then I tried it in the Marketplace... 235 MB after an hour...
PKL's showed up and everytime a spell was cast or one of them died... it would creep higher... so... I set up test in Tradebot room... With all the bot spam... I turned on a chat channel every 10 minutes...until they were all active... BINGO! memory usage went up to almost a GIG after an hour... of just standing there with all the text scrolling and toons running around shopping and the occasional PKL fight... I ran a second toon into the buff bot room and noticed the same thing happen with every bot buffing someone!
Even with global squelch (that's everything) in place... all chat channels turned off... It seems that does not stop memory usage from increasing...
Bottom line... even if you can't see it to read it... it's still there!
Now we need to figure... oh wait... Turbine said they can't find a problem... I suggest we figure out a way to dump the text caching or whatever it might be called...
More To Come!

If it bothers you that much, switch to an Nvidia card.

Then Turbine should have changed their requirement or recommended label on the ToD game to mention that fact. Still wouldn't help alot of people (including me, who has 3 ATI cards) ... not to mention, they would have actually had to TEST the game before they released it.

Just my 2 cents: This memory problem has me baffled. I didn't really notice it until all these posts started showing up. I wasn't playing AC much but in the past week I have increased my playtime. I can run a buff bot for almost 24 hours. but if I go out hunting I'll run out of memory in about 4 hours. Switching characters does not free up the memory. Exiting AC does not free up the memory (although I can run my buff bot for 10 min or so). Doing a warm reboot does not free up the memory (although I can run the bot for half hour or after a warm reboot). Doing a cold reboot is the only way I can get back on for any resonable lenght of time.
I'm inclined to think that this problem is something external (XP, direct X, chipset driver, etc.) to AC, As such I can see why Turbine is having trouble finding the problem. I cannot see why Turbine sais they can'r reproduce the problem.

I think that a post of what the client should be @ should be posted for normal operations.

Do any of you ATI users have 2GB or more of memory and have this problem?
