A small price, a big difference

[Achtung Englander]

Two weeks ago I decided 1 Gb of Ram jsut wasn't enough. So spending approx £100 or $180 I bought an extra 1 Gb and....

WOW !!

the framerates at the ports were high and there was no j.u.d.d.e.r.i.n.g. Usually at port my PC stuggled with the amounts of info thrown at it with the GW mod. The extra Ram is almost like have a new system

I seriously recommend if you can afford to blow $180 get yourself 2 Gb Ram (you know you want to !!)

D'oh, I'm playing with 512 MB RAM and can't wait to get my christmas salary to get another 512 MB RAM

BTW, you should call yourself Engländer or Englaender, for perfect German! Just a note!

Like I posted somewhere before.

My modded SH3 with GW needs 900-1GB of RAM (that is DDR2 RAM) to work without a glitch!

Where can i get RAM cheap? I currently have 1,5 gb, and i think i should have 1 gig more (DDR).

Kaleun_Saxi - thanks for the prompt - I really wanted to get the tongue in cheek Englishism for German words like "Achtung Spitfeur !"

I see. Achtung Spitfeuer would be more accurate, but we are tongue-in-cheek.
I'm thinking about other typical English words that we Germans misuse. Like saying "handy" to a mobile phone. For me this is a quite interesting subject, I like reading which German words are actually used in other languages. Time for Blitzkrieg. Kindergarten. Bratwurst. Brathering....

I'm gonna buy it on Ebay. Here in Germany there are several retailers where you can buy RAM, the price is about 70-100 Euro per GB, depending on the type of RAM you need. I'm gonna grab myself 512 MB, that should help me playing SH3 unmodded.

Be very careful buying RAM on Ebay. There's a lot of unbranded stuff on there which is causing grief. You may be OK if you buy a 512MB stick. Avoid most 1GB sticks on Ebay as they're 128x4 instead of 64x8. Very few chipsets support 128x4 and their stability is questionable.
