do i need more ram in new build?

panyan · 2 Aug 2011 at 10:39

just a quick question

I was playing some fable 3 last night and my ram usage was 48% of 8GB

My new build has 4GB of ram because i though 8gb was overkill, but it would be 96% ram usage

Is fable 3 just a ram hog or do i actually need more ram?

p.s. the ram for the new build is OCZ3P1333LV4GK

You can currently get a 8GB 16000mhz RAM kit for £52.99 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

Looks like a bit of win to me.

RAM is cheap currently compared to a year ago. I'd say get the 8GB Stulid has mentioned

Well the maths suggest,

2 X £29.99 for 4gb 1333mhz ram, filling all the ram slots.

1 X £52.99 for 8gb 16000mhz ram, leaving two slots spare.

yeah... i think im gonna buy the ram and then flog the unopened ocz

WHAT!!! THAT RAM JUST JUMPED UP £3!!!

The maths also suggest,

Sell the OCZ for £25+ish + £29.99 to give 8gb = still more than £52.99

if it's un-opened can you not just return it? As said - it'd be cheaper to get the 8gb set and leave you with free slots if its ever required in the future

The RAM is now £59.99, what just happened? lol
