im was thinking about it, but i only play RTS games and the odd shoter's like fear,COD4, etc so i think this should do fine for now, i hope

gambino · 01-26-2008, 07:54 PM

it will do the job but honestly, i would never buy such slow hardware for vista

atreyurock · 01-26-2008, 07:55 PM

Slow , how so? if i may ask

Shadowhunter · 01-26-2008, 08:43 PM

Don't worry about him, he's obviously on crack if he thinks a E8400 is slow. 4GB would be nice for Vista, but 2GB will do just fine.

gambino · 01-26-2008, 09:57 PM

obviously i wasnt referring to the processor. i was referring that your running vista on 2 gb instead of 3 or 4 gb

you need to stop smoking crack, 2gb is perfectly acceptable for vista. vista only uses about 10% more RAM then xp

atreyurock · 01-26-2008, 11:32 PM

I’m going to run XP to start then Vista once it's a smother running program (when they fix some bugs) then I’ll run 4 gigs of ram

fortyways · 01-26-2008, 11:56 PM

Vista is fine on 2GB.
