for the peeps coasting 2 gigs of ram

is there honestly a neccessity for it? like i plan to get 2 gigs on my new rig as well

but right now i have 1.2 gigs of ram and ive had that for like a year now and ive never been strapped for memory!

i can dual box in lineage, have multiple torrents open and pages and msn, and my ram usage will not go past like 80 percent

2 gigs is the new standard for vista pro when it comes out, also with ram prices going up I'm happy to get 2 gigs at the older prices when I did, the 2 gigs of ocz platinum ddr2 800 4-4-4-12 I got @ $230 are now $280 usd at the egg.

Plus more ram = less page mem use = more speed!

i guess u dont plan to run dual channel then crixx.....if not then the only thing u hadda worry about is running FEAR or BF2 on max settings.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #26 on:** October 12, 2006, 12:47:39 PM »

i was running dual channel before, but i just didnt have enuff ram, so i abandoned the dual channel for mass ram

when i build my machine i might stick with a 1 gig dual channel kit, unless i get real hardcore proof that i actually need 2 gigs

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #27 on:** October 12, 2006, 03:21:23 PM »

I'm gonna get two gigs for bf2 / 2142

Convinced it will decrease loading times.

Also, it helps when alt tabbing from beefy games.

More ram, means less of windows gets dumped out of memory when you're running a big game.

Dual Core and 2 gig, yup...that's the next upgrade for me.

i like mine, it's not amazing, and slightly messed up but here goes

mobo:msi k9n sli platinum edition(kinda proud of that)
ram:512mb ddr533 (some generic mess but that's cause that is all i could find down here)
video:ati radeon x1600pro 256(that just aint right considering my mobo)
processor:athlon 64x2 3800+
monitor:19" aoc

wast changes will be made at the end of the month though cause my birthday is on the 31st and my bro organising all the other fundimentals like the ram, hard drive and all that jizz.

Me sees this new beast and needs some quick upgrades to compete, just add a x1950 pro and more hds, I then can actually reduce the OC to 2.7 or so and buss the fx 62

Ok i found some old pics of my pc......more mods have been done since these were taken. And ive gotten more hardware.

Since these pics were taken ive gotten a 19" widescreen lcd and a 17" lcd runnin a dual setup. Also got a remote start for the pc

Doh study the dust in the case (the pics were probably taken on a Thursday, cuz i clean the pc every Friday).

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2006, 02:27:16 PM »

That case looking monstrous boy Prowl.

Kick ass.

Decent setup too Jedi.

The date for this thing has dragged on though. Should have met with the guy last weekend.

When can you guys arrange to come together at HQ in Port of Spain for a showing?
