worth getting another 2gb??

PuMA · Apr 15, 2008, 07:07 AM

well like the title says is it worth getting another 2gb sticks?? i will probly use xp x64 and mostly gaming. would i see some real benefit out of it?

Pinchy · Apr 15, 2008, 07:16 AM

I would say yes only because RAM is so cheap.

Being on XP, you probably wont need it, but you will be able to turn off pagefile and get faster response from most apps.

More RAM can always be a good thing.

RAM intensive games will benefit from the 4GB. If you dont have any, then maybe its not worth it.

How far have you overclocked them?

xmountainxlionx · Apr 18, 2008, 04:56 AM

you have to tweak the laces right or you have to knock back the latency

panchoman · Apr 18, 2008, 04:56 AM

yes! ram is so cheap now and you certainly will get some good performance out of it.

PuMA · Apr 18, 2008, 07:09 AM
