I think i could do with at least 4gig as the pc doesn't feel as snappy as it should
No, not overclocked. Just bought an Athlon Quad 3ghz. 2gig of cheapo DDR3 ram, onboard GPU
Not if you keep other applications open in the background. I currently have Chrome open with around 50 tabs and this alone is using 2.7GB RAM.
Surely I can't be the only person who doesn't close things down when I play games?
I've got 4GB and I'm getting 8GB when I can be arsed. Mainly because of Crysis 1's epic memory leaks at this point, but meh.Am sure Skyrim, BF3 and the like will like a bit more.
Battlefield 3 is a cross-platform game, it MUST work on Xbox 360 and PS3 with there severely limited amounts of memory, so through logical deduction I would assume that it can't be that memory hungry. the thing is that developers should stop wasting resources and take more time and effort to make use of the resources available rather than demand more resources.

you get some games that run terribly with however much memory you throw at them, then you get other games that run perfectly well with small amounts of memory. a game like X3: Terran Conflict runs perfect with a 'mere' 4GB of memory yet it is massive, diverse and graphically stunning, just goes to show what you can do if you can be bothered.![]()
Playing bf3 in the Alpha, youll be suprised what HW you can get away with and still have a good experience.
