Going to upgrade from 1 to 2 or 4 Gigabytes hopefully within the week, will probably be a big improvement on several things.

I have 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM and was surprised to see that with SH5, up to 70-80% of the RAM is used on a regular basis. This is with Win XP.

Mhm, I don't really care that much for high graphics (though I greatly appreciate them when they're there), but I figure that 4 GB is an investment that'll lengthen the time before I have to upgrade again.

That, and I play Dwarf Fortress

, and I may find myself doing lightmapping and other resource-intensive stuff pretty soon.
