How much do new modern games use(Memory). I have a 160 Gigabyte HD, is that ok for if I have 8-12 games installed?

They take up around 1-2 gig each - plentuy of room for 8-12 games.

Perhaps you have memory and local storage confused? Memory (aka RAM) requirements are usually <=1024MB.

Yes but those are very specific games

no I meant Hard Drive, but while were here, is 512 MB of Ram good enough for modern games?

512 is great - but since you are gonna buy anyway - get one stick of 1 gig ram - then you have better upgrade options in the future.

I thought it where two questions your where asking myself as you did sam "(memory)" so it does appear that you might have confused the two.

I would say the average game could take anywhere from 2-5 gbs. Command and conquer generals takes up more than 3gbs on my system but of course you have to add the factor that you might add more levels (maps) after the instal.

First of all, How do you quote someone, do you just copy it? Secondly, I already ordered the computer and it came today, so I'm stuck with 512 MB.
