ButchGod Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Looking at my system, what would be a real good upgrade as far as memory goes??? I am thinking of 2gb . This machine is used mainly for gaming (FEAR,COD2,FArCry etc....Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 2GB of ram would help out a lot. Your video card is starting to be a bit dated as well....but without 2 gigs of ram there really is no reason to upgrde that yet IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 What are you OC'd at right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettotech Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 It should make a huge diff. you can always alt tab out of a game and see what your mem usage for a game is in task manager. If its anywhere near 1gb you are suffering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchGod Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 No overclocking at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Then I'd recommend some g.skill F1 HZ's (2X1gb PC4000). Running 10 X 250 on that San Diego should be a breeze...If you have ZERO intentions of OC'ing then just get some PC3200 with decent timings...

ButchGod Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 No, I plan on trying my hand at overclocking. I have PC3200 now,which will go into my wife's computer. I like the idea of giving her the hand-me-downs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchGod Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 BTW...Old Guy; a while back I had wrote to you about your settings because we were running similar systems and I was considering trying to duplicate yours; as you can see I haven't as of yet,but will soon.

I like the idea of giving her the hand-me-downs That's what bleeding edge is all about.. paying lots for cool stuff then selling it or giving it away later. Most of my friends/family are running systems built of parts I've passed along. Obsolete is only relative to the user. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my "leftovers" tend to be on the perty damned nice side of leftovers!!! @ButchGod...The Sandy is sitting in my work PC in an RDX200. Sold that combo to the company and wouldn't ya know, It ended up on MY desk The NF3 UD is sitting in the box waiting for me to get off me lazy arse and post it up for sale...but the OCDB entry should give you an idea along with a few others in there. Never ran 2gb's in it though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
