1 gig vs 512mb gaming
« on: January 19, 2005, 01:14:58 PM »
anyone upgrade from 512 to 1Gb, if so what was the gaming difference.  I\'m debating on either getting a Gig stick for my notebook (1.25gb total) or getting a 6600GT for my 3ghz desktop (current is crap 440 card)

well, I don\'t game on my desktop all that much, it\'s mostly on the notebook....BUT, if the 1 gig gain is minimal, I\'ll learn to game on the desktop.

either way, I\'ll get both upgrades within the next month

Another vote for the 6800gt here.


I just upgraded to 1gb ram on my laptop though and I\'m very pleased.

Heh. I sometimes browse with my 233 (266?) MHz notebook with 128 megs of RAM. I can hardly open 5 I.E. windows at once.

I still have a 486 notebook, 11 inch B&W screen. I think it\'s 33MHz, runs Windows 95. I use it for my writing, and to play a few old-school games.
