Memory and Gaming

Ok, I'm about to pose one of the easiest questions ever posted.

If you have a quick processor (2.4GHz or higher), would adding an extra 512 megs of ram to an already existing 512 megs (going from 512 to 1024) make THAT big of a difference in a gaming experience? Is it really THAT noticeable?

The difference you'll notice will probably vary depending on what game you are playing. You won't notice it as much if you're playing say Medal of Honor (which isn't that resource intensive) as you would playing say Battlefield Vietnam (which is a resource pig).

I play Call of Duty quite a bit, and plan to play the sh*t out of D3 when it's out, and I have 512 megs of Corsair ram right now running with a 3GHz P4 processor.

search "512" for a few dozen more posts on the subject.

if you play new fps style games than it will DEFINATELY give you noticable improvement. i think that having 1gb of ram is more important than just for gaming though, its best to have.
oooo and actually u wont notice that big of a performance increase unless u have a decent graphics card.
