bf2 memory usage

[pavester]

would i be better of with 2x1gig sticks or 1x512mb sticks?

Ummm . . . two gigs would be better.

Assuming you meant to say 4 x 512mb sticks --- the 2 x 1gb configuration is faster on the A64 platform.

 

[pavester]

agg no i meant 2X512mb as in 1gig

ill probably go with 2X1gig sticks i was just seeing if anyone had any thoughts and/or objections

Go for the 2 gigs. I believe that BF2 is one only a few games that really benefits from 2 gigs. And that should just increase as we get more "next gen" games.

Seems I have to buy another 1Gb ram to run this game.

or keep it at or under 1280x960.....assuming you idle at less than 240MB....

2 G i would say (i have the game i am just waiting on all my parts to start building and testing) but if you want to future proof i would say 2 G apparently FEAR can do with extra RAM and i am sure some of the games coming out in the near future. as for 2 X1 G or 4x512 then 2 x 1 G as they run with tighter timing (1T as opposed to 2T, if you dont know what this means dont worry it just means it is slightly quicker) it will also leave you with 2 empty slots for any future upgrades
