Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed (2000): Memory problem
This is a discussion about Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed (2000): Memory problem in the Windows Games category; I recently helped a buddy of mine with NFS:PU, and after having tried everything (removing gimme. dll, re-installing SP1, different video drivers, etc) we finally set his pagefile to a fixed size. We both got 256MB of memory and our pagefiles are now locked to 384MB (min/max).

A third friend of mine has 512MB RAM and NFS works just fine there too. (I don't know his pagefile settings)
Important: Do not remove gimme.dll. It's a big no-no if you have any desire whatsoever to play this game over a network. (and who knows what other bizarre behaviour the removal will trigger?)
SP2 didn't break anything for me.

I've heard numerous people decreasing their page files in order to play the game correctly
I tried setting my Physical memory at 384mb and leaving Gimme.dll alone like you said. Didn't work for me. I am stuck at Loading screen. Could you ask your friend (the one with 512mb memory) about his Physical memory setting and post that info back here? Thx.
give it more of a size of say 320MB or so
OMG! I finally got NFS Porche Unleashed to work in multiplayer mode without having to delete Gimme.dll file. All I did was set the paging file to 256mb both Max and Min. Now I just need to figure how to get NFS: High Stakes to work. =(
OP
FWIW: My buddy who has 512MB memory says his pagefile is set to
Initial: 768
Maximum: 1536
Recommended: 766
Current: 768
Registry: 18 MB
He says he hasn't touched anything (i.e. that this was the default).
