Personally, i feel fine with my 1gb ram. Even with this slow memory controller and value ram. I do a lot of high reso photoshop work. maybe 2045x1600 , when the work is filled with maybe 20 layers. My free ram would drop to 100 mb and page file jumps to 800mb Which the total ram usage for photoshop only is about 1.4GB ( after cutting out windows services ram and idle page file) I have not tried any pc with > 1GB RAM but i think 1.5GB or 2GB is a very great boost to multitasker or heavy gamers. Remember few years back ago? Having 256 Mb ram is cool but look at now. Anything will change, god knows one day we can do real time unzip/zip our game's file ( It is speculated in ps3 cell processor d) Anway, i m getting A64x2 this year end. Any good ram to recommend?My budget won't let me get 2GB of high performance ram for sure. Very new to AMD  |

QUOTE(sidewinderz @ Jan 24 2006, 05:20 PM) if you wanna talk about doing office work, then sadly i'd say no..but if you're into gaming, difference is definitely noticable..especially loading times... U need to crank up with super high resolution, 4XAA,16XAF,HDR..that will be noticable With my 1GB, i feel nothing when loading 1280,4XAA,16XAF in CS Source. I only feel the difference between 1gb and 2gb (lent 1gb from fren ) when loading games such as FEAR,3Dmark06 |

QUOTE(CoffeeDude @ Feb 6 2006, 02:49 PM) What applications do you need to run to utilise more than 1GB ram? So far I have never exceeded 1GB when running NFSMW, BitComet, IE, NOD32, ZoneAlarm. Photoshop CS2,3dsmax,Video editing , BF2,FEAR |
