Does Ram affect 3D MArk 06

If you don't have enough, then more RAM will improve it. There will come a point were more won't affect anything though. I've read speed has extremely little impact.
 
"2BG" hardly 'a lot' of ram, try with 4GB, will probably improve but 4-8GB unlikely. BTW extra RAM becomes very useful in games when u r not playing 3DMark ;)
 
Amount of RAM over and above what the application requires won't have any effect... as for speed I went from some 533MHz CAS5 to 1152MHz CAS5 and the score difference in 3D Marks 06 was barely 5%.
 
5% is 1000 marks in a 20k rig... that's a hell of a leap just for increasing ram speed, i'd have thought it'd be a lot less than that...

Ram speed certainly helps when running prime95 though if you decided to 'play that instead...
 
Thats going from like almost as slow as you can get to fairly fast... you probably wouldn't see more than 50 points difference going from say 800MHz to 1066 stuff.
