Does 2Gb make a difference to you?

Correct. Over a 1000% increase in game size in 3 years is quite considerable when you compare it to a 400% increase in RAM in the same period. :eek:

I don't think typical RAM installations have increased 4x in 3 years. My PC is 5 years old and it has 1GB of memory, which was standard in a high end PC of the time.

3 years ago 2GB installs were a lot less common though.
 
2 - 4Gb seems to be min - max nowadays. But when I saw a woman running XP Pro on a P1 with 64mb of memory,,...:eek:

I was trying to point out that average game size has increased considerably more than average installed memory. :)

Just try installing norton antivirus 2005 or newer on that system! :D Clean install of XP PRO on a dell pentium 2 with 96mb ram and when I installed Norton 2005 & maybe spy sweeper (think it was only norton) and I had the boot time UP TO 12 mins! :D I was trying to see how slow I could get a pc to run with not enough memory.
