RAM and HL2

[Warbie]

At the mo i've got 512 pc2700 - will this be ok for running HL2??

I could get some more if really needed, but am very skint and would rather not

That should be fine, but if you really want to be extra safe, whack in another 256 or 512mb.

 

[Paradox]

That should be fine, although more RAM would mean shorter load times.

When I asked Gabe this very question, here is his response:


Not for gameplay, although it would help if you are running a bunch of big demos back to back. Our demo machines at E3 had a gig so we could run through the demo sequence without ever hitting the hard drive.

I know you're busy so I'll try to be fast. I was wondering if there's much of a performance difference in HL2 between having 512MB of RAM and 768 - 1Gig. Thanks for your time! And by the way, that was really cool of you guys to let that kid tour your place. Hats off to you. Thanks!
