Us with 2gb that game will laugh at you for having lowered performance and spent more for the pleasure

bet they still haven;t got rid of the page file even for machines equipped with 64gigs of ram.

silversurfer · 30 Jun 2006 at 13:41

It was always optional afiak

Cyber-Mav · 30 Jun 2006 at 22:50

optional and useless on high ram pcs.

I will get my Patriot 4GB DDR2 PC 8000 by the end of next week

I will let you know how well it goes!

I love how you say the pagefile is useless on high ram pc's...
Im pretty sure that extra 2 gigs of ram you have is pretty useless too,
oh no, Im wrong 'You can never have too much ram!'

ha ha, yep,

I've turned my pagefile off and I can still not fill 2Gb even with BF2 and MS FS 2004 going.

For gaming its useless, and don't say for the future because when it arrives your PC will be so far behind it wont be able to process that data.

Its ONLY for people who do a lot of photoshop/3D models etc.

CR.

more memory lowers your max overclock on your Athlon 64 cpu lets not forget

Cyber-Mav · 5 Jul 2006 at 21:35

odd why people keep saying that this 4 gigs of ram has not been of benefit to me . i posted screenshots of my ram usage and my system is a lot better than before running my rendering apps.

also my max overclock has not been affected. with 2 gigs of ram all i could manage was 2.9ghz ram running at 194mhz 2.5-3-2-10 2T. with 4 gigs of ram the overclock is the same as so are the timings.

so its a win win situation for me .

4 double side modules means you have to run 2T, but if you're stuck at 2T anyway, 4 modules allows 4 way interleaving, which gives a slight performance boost:

Am I not good to you Mav?

silversurfer · 5 Jul 2006 at 23:04

I have only 2 modules double sided and I find I have to run them at 2T unfortunately. They arent even supposed to work at all so Iam not complaining just saying for reference, 16chips per module!

on Intel....its all 2T from the get go.

Is that right, it'll do 1T but isnt stable. Got 34 secs superpi that way

welshtom · 6 Jul 2006 at 16:52

if your max overclock is unaffected, its not your max

Cyber, how much 3D work do you do, is it 24/7 and your money flow is affected by the speed you work?

If not that extra 2Gb was a waste, no two ways about it.

silversurfer · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:18

The majority of purchases and discussions on this board are a waste. Very few people need anything more then a well setup socket a system.
I think he allready knows what you mean to say and isnt bothered so no point going on
