2gigs vs 4gigs

dan_foster11 · 05-22-2007, 04:30 AM

Im thinking about upgrading to 4gigs of ram. Are there any issues Id need to be aware of with this kind of upgrade, other than I need to have all the same kind of ram?

BTW its this ram

What motherboard do you have?

Well, im sure it wont be long before 4 gigs becomes more standard. Im actually thinking bout upgrading to 4gigs myself. But i think ill wait, cuz i want a new CPU and mobo first, so i can upgrade to DDR2. And im sure by the time i do that DDR3 will come out lol.

Im always behind!

And OCz has a good rep for being a great product. Iv never heard anything bad about any of their products. All iv heard is good things, and that their RAM overclocks very well.

I don't see any problem with adding 2 more gigs, but you won't notice the difference in the performance

on? 2gigs are more than enough, you hardly will see any difference from 2gigs to 4gigs you would know this if you tried it before

No, it all depends on what your doing. Alot of games require a bit more then 2gigs now(for maximum graphics), and if your big on multi-tasking then 2 gigs is good, but more is always better.

They need to make 2gb sticks so they can run 1T as opposed to 2T, then it would be much better as the bandwidth would be alot higher, making the extra ram alot more usefull.

more isn't always better, but w/e, can you tell me and show me proof of an actual game that requres over 4gbs ram? no you can't cuz they don't exist yet.

btw 2gb sticks are already out, it seems you talk big but you hardly know what you're talking about, if you want to quote me and flame me back go ahead i won't bother responding any other of your post on this thread.
