hmm no idea
i cant see the connection between ram and hdd

icic.. thanks

get a PS3 ler.. then no need spend so much money keep upgrading lor~~

joined the 2gb bandwagon..
well, im no gamer.. but when using visual studio, photoshop, quartus, 2gb does give smoother loading and simulations..

but then again, my bios cant max out the rams
running slower ghz then my previous setup

I was has this question i wanna ask u peeps (or shld i say gamers) out there.

You peeps rather to get a "performance rams 1GB" or "value rams 2GB"?.. since pretty similar price.

What u peeps think?..

Cheers

whats ps3 related to 2gb ram ?

I'm using 2gig of RAM and the performance gain is noticeable!@

They are two separate issues altogether.

1. Use your PC as you would normally. Open the regular programs as much as you would normally do, including games. Then exit.

2. Go to your task bar, right click, Task Manager. Go to Performance Tab. Under commit charge, check what is the Peak.

3. If your Peak is higher than 1GB, then you'd be better off get "cheap" 2GB memory.

4. If your Peak is lower than 1GB, then it's good to get performance 1GB memory.

Sounds logical to you?

Hmm jarofclay... looks like i need more than 2gb!

mY PEAK is just 452000. I played farcry and fable on full setting.
Guess i wont need 2 Gb ram

My bet is that you didn't enable AA... with AA enabled, even Q4 requires 1.7GB.

Hmmmz.. mine peak now its 1049628... so i need another gig huh...

Cheers

lolz nowdays 1GB is just bottleneck for new game ..... even now GC want a high end one ....

no choice bcoz the developer need to follow wht market if not how ATI n Nvidia selling their card if the game still support for Geforce 4MX or Ti , Radeon 9xxx series how Nvidia n ATI want to sell thier CROSSFIRE/SLI hehehe

if new game still cam run smooth on 9500 or lower would u guy will buy new GC no right hehehe but developer + manufacture is work together one if duwant headache buy PS or XBOX hahahah

just my 2 cents

Hmm.. check my sig. I'm using 2GB but does not feel much diff...

Do you do heavy photoshop? Video editing? Super multitasking or some high reso gaming?

bb punya topic so hot liao.... now my target only 1gig.. cuz im miskin.. but u guys alrdy 2gig! watafak!!

What are you trying to achieve with this post? Please refrain from using inappropriate language.

Just want to find out at DDR500 at 3-3-3-8 timings, what is your Sandra memory score like? Noticed that there is quite significant drop in the score if switch from 1T to 2T.

At DDR500, 3-3-3-8 would most prolly give you around 7K points. Switching to 2T, it gives you roughly 5.8K points. I'd say definitely more than 10%.

Doing photoshop, coreldraw, autocad, hardcore dvd rippings, converting rmvb, botting, etc... maybe too much multitask..
