Ram question

muppet · 02-06-08, 06:17 PM

Is it better for video games to use 2gb of ram in dual channel or 3gb in single channel.As i am now using only 2gb because my vista score is a 5.9 but when i put 3gb in it drops to a 4.3 and i dont know if the wei score will affect my performance?

Thanks guys.,Going Sailing.

3Gb of ram will only help you if you're running SH4 1.3 (since 1.4 has a big memory optimization) AND draw a wall size poster in Photoshop AND run a web server at the same time.

Now, back to the question, please ignore the Vista performance index. It takes 3D Mark 10 minutes to compute a score and, yet, Vista claims it can do it in a millisecond. Or a whole minute if you only have 512 mb of ram

Once everyone that bought vista has finished beta testing it in 2-3 years. It will be just as solid as XP :p

And I got all excited thinking this post would be about adding a submerged ramming spike to the front of your boat, oh well...
