Author Topic: OSHT RAM DIED (Read 14594 times)

Purchasing "faster" RAM may improved the performance of a machine, but it will certainly not have the magical effects that many inexperienced users expect from it. I think they feel that adding RAM is like some kind of special elixer that will somehow fix all the problems with their computer and magically prevent them from having to perform a real hardware upgrade.

As a rule of thumb, if you understand the concepts behind what makes one stick of RAM better than another, then you are more likely to appreciate the difference it makes. If not, I wouldn't recommend reading to deep into it.

I must say, this is an awesome reply. You were on both sides, yet against both sides, and use logic. That takes skill, dear sir.

*slap

And i already ordered 2gb. Coming tomorow.

You think i would live with 512mb?

I can't even play hl2 with it (with models and textures on high..but i don't like it when hl2 looks terrible :( )

I still get you some if I can :D

I have less than 512 MB, Think yourself lucky. TF2 Runs very, very laggy and there's a chance of a crash if you fire a Rocket L As a soldier.
And for HL2? I have it but never played it, same reason as above but laggier.
Though atleast i'm going to get 1/2 GB and a new Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT, Since i have been stuck with Nvidia GeForce 5600 For a long time now.

"OH NO SOMETHING DIED
QUICK TO MY BLOG-FORUM"

I've been stuck on 512mb, with Vista, for over a year - this laptop came with Vista, I can't format it to install XP as I lack a burner/XP disc of any form, and it's honestly not as bad as you think. And it's incredibly loving horrible.
