| 358502 | 2005-05-26 12:32:00 | 1GB is plenty, Hell, I only have 512mb and the machine is a rocket. | Metla (12) | ||
| 358503 | 2005-05-26 13:17:00 | Going from a computer with 512 MB to one with 1 GB of RAM you will notice smoother graphics in games due to the page file not being used as much. Sometimes with 512MB and a memory intensive game (most new ones) you may notice stuttering or pauses and this is due to the page file being used to cache important game files. The difference isn't exactly measurable in frames per second, you won't see much of an increase there, the difference is in how smooth the gameplay will be. 1.5GB is supposed to be even better. Multitasking is also a lot nicer on 1GB systems and up depending on what type of work you are doing. |

| 358505 | 2005-05-26 13:40:00 | I have 1.5 GB of RAM upgraded from 512, 4 sticks of it running in Duel Channel mode. It's the Adata brand. Since I got it cheap I wasn't really worried about any sort of performance gain, to my surprise games run heaps better as well as my apps. Basically 1 GB is fast becoming the minimum these days and the more RAM Windows has the better. |

| 358506 | 2005-05-26 20:23:00 | i think 4gb is the limit that xp accepts Modern Mobos can support up to 4GB of RAM (Not talking about PCI-e), while XP can support up to 2GB of RAM. Cheers :) |

| 358507 | 2005-05-26 22:14:00 | James, XP can support 4 GB of RAM www.microsoft.com I doubt that it will actually use it, but it will address it. |

| 358508 | 2005-05-26 22:28:00 | If you are thinking of getting 1GB of RAM, I personally would go for 2*512MB sticks. As far as my specs, I have 1*512MB PC3200 DDR although the mobo slows it down a bit (MSI P4MAM) |
