Title: I got my memory today!
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on November 20, 2004, 05:42:07 PM
I\'m now up to 1024 MB of RAM.

It feels good, and I\'m one step closer to fully enjoying half-life 2.

Except maybe 2.  SP2 loads MUCH quicker after getting another gig.

sp2 = crap.  Theres really no reason to install it.  2 gig is overkill atm. Soon enough you\'ll need 2 gig, but by then they will be new mem standards.  I could only see 2 gig of ram usefull in Video Editing.

If nothing else 1.5 gigs is a good medium.
:Shrugs:

Then again, I remember the day\'s before those 128meg chips.
:D

I remember when Johnny Mnemonic was out (what, 9 years ago?) and it had a computer with 2 gb RAM - it was totally futuristic and exotic. Nowadays it\'s nothing special, now that\'s scary. :shocked:

:grab:

Same here, even WITH my 2 gb of Corsair DDR500 twinx (which runs underclocked btw on my 875P mobo @ spd settings)...

I have a gig of ram and it seems like that isn\'t enough for me.

What are you doing that requires more then 1 gig?

^ 3D modeling in Cinema4D or Maya. Usually, the models themselves, even if high poly, don\'t require more than 1 gb.

But if alot of image file textures are used 2 Gb is nice to have
if you want quick responsiveness while working in 4 viewports.

Some insanely high particle FX renders also like to eat up memory.

Well nothing  but when your doing multiples things that require a lot of memory.  And I guess it\'s the idea of the more the better.

Things like Windows Media Encoder can be a drag with 1gb of even high performance ram.  Throw in 2gigs and for some reason or another it runs like butter when switching menus and settings.

Try opening a 3+ gig HuffYUV file with uncompressed audio and get back to me on that. ;)

like i said, vid editing and as knot said, 3d editing are the ONLY reasons needed for anything over 1 gig..
