How big of difference is there(2gb vs 4gb)

[Kieth8]

How big of difference in performance and games will 4 gb of DDR2 ram versus 2gb of DDR2 ram make?

Quite a bit of difference actualy,especialy if your running Vista.

I think 2gb is the minimum by todays standards,4gb is the norm.

I realy would reccomend getting 4gb if you game too.

So would saying a 40%-60% performance increase be correct?

i found this article very usefull:

basically, you don't get better game performance, but loading and task switching is faster.

Yeah, I agree. i think it actually think it shortens loading time.

I actually recently went from 2GB to 4GB, while my FPS didn't increase a lot, I did notice Windows was a lot snappier when doing a lot of things.
