If you got 2GB of RAM now,i think your spec can tahan for quite a long time in gaming rite?A step earlier from others moving to 2GB RAM.Wao smart man.I wish i can have 2GB RAM now.Ahaha,can save loading time in game.

planning and ZOMGLY HUMONGOUS 256 mb x 2 for my new rig! BOW DOWN IN SHADOW OF IT'S 1337-NESS!
Anyways, less banks and less memory put less stress on the memory controller, making Ocing easier.

More RAM will benefit the pc in gaming.Faster loading time.But how much percentage will higher capacity RAM limit the o/cing?Just wish to know.Never experience b4.

i don't think it makes loading time any faster
u just have more memory for u'r system, the loading time is still pretty much limited to how fast u'r HDD can transfere data, and u'r memory bandwidth for that mater, not its size.
From my own experience,256MB to 512MB of RAM makes alot of different in game loading time.But i dunno how the 2GB.So i assumed that more RAM will benefit in loading time and of course will make game run smoother.

more ram alone doesn't make a system any faster, its the system as a whole, not just a component.....it'll be pretty silly for a low end user to get 2Gig, because at the end of the day, the application he runs will be tone down so low that he barely need anything more than 1gig...u have to be running the currently greatest system which can handle a situation where the program will take more than 1 gig, then u'll be utilizing it.

And i agree with you that low end pc no need to use up to 2GB RAM la.Imagine a P3 with 2GB SDRAM(Just am example la,P3 cant support so much RAM),definately wont benefit the user but only 1 thing for sure he/she can open up many ie at the same time witout lacking of RAM.

2GG ram? shocking.gif

i'll say games require this high ram are un-optimized program shakehead.gif

from the screenshots i see.... doesnt impress me a bit shakehead.gif

I do agree with your point for the moment now.A program that make use more RAM is no good.

True, there are very few programs (and even fewer games) that can take advantage of 2GB of RAM. But they are out there. I believe the 2GB will help when there's too much data/textures being shifted about and the GPU framebuffer is exhausted.

For now still very few program will use up to 2GB RAM.In future sure will have.Since we can see from the earlier computer with little of RAM 1MB untill now we have 1000MB or some with 2000MB.You can see the evolution from there.

some people think 4gb will make all the difference,
but in fact 2gb is more than enough
vista isnt really a good OS if u ask me since the minimum req is absurd for a home machine.

you think adding more ram to a rotten OS will make a difference? think again
if u want to implement vista, a smart man will always wait till sp1 and have the laugh of thier life at all the morons who install vista first.
and if your vista is pirated, you goina have alot of headahce. even for xp, some of the headaches is starting to appear.

so think again what u wanna do today..more like where do u wanna go today laugh.gif

Hehe,disagree with your opinion here.Sure the OS will be improved form version to version.Like Win XP is superior than Win98 and Win Me.But in fact that the memory need to be used up is increased in amount of almost double.Vista is definateky for the high end pc's,not point if you run the OS on a P3 machine right?If you are using Win XP with 128Mb,i think you can judge that the 256MB is always better than that once you tried it.

for me.. it depends on the market.. if everyone is so excited and start to change into vista (total volume order is so big) then the ram price will drop drastically.. but if only certain amount of people using vista.. the price might be the same or could be higher..

In order to let majority of the users changing to Vista,i think this might need to take some time to happen.Right now still many of us using the Win XP OS.

so this would affect only if i overclock my com...wat if i dun overclock..everything should be fine and i should see some performance increase rite?

Not every chipset can support 1T settings.If you are not going to overclock 1T or 2T timing will not give you huge performance increment.
