Title: How much RAM do you WinXP\'ers have?
Post by: Cyrus on December 15, 2004, 02:23:07 PM
I\'m asking becuase this guy told me today that winxp crashes with anything over 1.5 I think he is wrong he even said there was a whitepaper on it. Im think most gamers have close two 2 but how much do you have?

1 gig. Anymore is useless unless you\'re doing very damanding shit. Running more then 1.5 gig won\'t crash XP. I\'ve got mates that are running 3+ gig without problems.

512 mb here. Wouldn\'t mind 1024, but it was just too expensive when I got it. I guess I could add some now, but I\'m too lazy. Besides, it runs ok. :)

Its a company computer (as in, bought via a company), and yes it will be expensive if I want to upgrade it anymore. But I think 1GB is enough right now (though, does XP use up more memory once SP2 has been installed My old comp (SP1) would use 190MB once it had started, this one uses aroung 250!) :)

Its a P4 3.4GHz, Im loving the Hyper threading stuff, I can Alt+Tab between Far Cry and launch a IE window without almost any delay, my old comp would hyperventilate, have a heart attack and be pronounced brain dead at the hospital. :p

RDRam = Rambus Dram,
SDRam = Synchronous DRAM
DDR = Double Data Rate SDRAM.
