Ram

[Shift]

Does upgrading from 1GB to 2GB of RAM make a considerable difference?

 

[Qonfused]

Yes. A huge difference.

 

[Adabiviak]

I didn't think it would, but I noticed a difference myself.

Depends on the rest of your system.

Very true. Like, if it's not plugged in, you're probably not going to see much difference.

Well i have good mobo (dont ask for what mobo it is because i just dont know, its very good though), 2.2ghz cpu, Radeon X1600 and as you know 1GB RAM. Ill be getting a dual core cpu this summer along with a new video card but I have a bit of money lying around. So will 2GB make a big difference? Since I think in time everyone will need 2GB RAM

 

[Qonfused]

I went from 512MB to 2GB with my second build. That was a huge difference. I would imagine that doubling your RAM would have a huge effect; maybe not as much as 512MB to 2GB but big enough to notice.

Cool, thanks for the help

 

[Alan00000]

Yes it does. I myself has 2 gig and is Awsome if your a gamer

 

[G-Dub]

2gb FTW!

 

[JNightshade]

2 gigs makes a HUGE difference.

In the future, we use random access positional enumerators

[Qonfused]

What?

ಠ_ಠ

 

[Stigmata]

We have moved beyond the limitations of your pesky and inefficient "R-A-M"

ಠ_ಠ

 

[Qonfused]

Oh.

ಠ_ಠ

 

[Stigmata]

We have also moved on to Cospatial Ordering and Computational Kinetics processing units.

So, if 2gb is noticeable over 1gb, is 4gb noticeable over 2gb? Even though nothing really has a use for 4gb.

If you have a DDR mainboard I wouldn't do it. You'll have to buy DDR2 ram again when you upgrade. I'd wait and get a new mainboard+cpu+ram this summer.

Exactly, that's why you can't see the difference.

What about adding another 1gb to accompany my pathetic 512mb stick.. would it make a big difference with my 9600pro and Athlon 2800+?

 

[Qonfused]

You'd notice it.

Dear god yes.

 

[Zephos]

Dear god yes.

Even if it was run of the mill generic DDR400 ram? XD

(I'm such a cheap arse )

 

[Qonfused]

Tbh, ram brand doesn't matter.

Troof. That only affects the quality and how long it lasts, honestly....I still get cheap Corsair Value Packs...they kick ass.

 

[Qonfused]

Amount > quality.
