I\'m now up to 1024 MB of RAM.
It feels good, and I\'m one step closer to fully enjoying half-life 2.

And I\'m as far away as you can possibly get :(

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.

Since where on johnny the I thought the whole dolphin thing was kind of stupid.
All in all still a decent flix
-
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.
-
works fine for me on 1 gig.
-
Try opening a 3+ gig HuffYUV file with uncompressed audio and get back to me on that. ;)

Or editing a 60MB image in Photoshop with all the advanced filters...
-
like i said, vid editing and as knot said, 3d editing are the ONLY reasons needed for anything over 1 gig..
