I read that on Vista 64 with direct x 10, Hellgate London uses at times 5 GB of Ram!!
The guy said he was going to run Crysis to see the Ram Use in that, but he never posted Back and I dont have a account on that forum
A.Anyone confirm this?*

"Anyone else heard that vista will be the last 32bit OS MS puts out....
And really, most of my friends (myself included) are running vista64 with little issue, i dont see why enthusiasts wouldnt take that route when upgrading OS this time around.
Playing hellgate:london (64bit dx10 mode) i can see ram usage break 5gb here and there, i need to load up crysis and see where that hits" legendosiris
2GB vs 4GB thread

4 GB total, ------------- (future)max is 8 GB.
Max is $260,
but I did want to save money on the ram,
so I can get the only Water Cooled PC case that I like.
B. DDR2 800 4 GB (2x2GB) or DDR2 1066 4GB(4x1GB)
Contenders!!!

C.***Post the link to the one and only Ram you would pick, ***?
It doesnt have to be the most expensive,
I came so close to hitting the button on the cheapest $39 Mushkin,
then i saw the water cooled ones and the one with LEDs,
so I thought I would ask first!

Thanks Kursah,
"do some research on your top 3, find out what chips they use, whether it's a D9GMH or D9GMK, etc. Research those for the performance, timings, OC you expect from your purchase. But I still vote mushkin and do the following:
Get a Corsair XMS Memory cooler, it works well, covers all 4 Dimms, sure 3 small fans that spin at 5200+RPM, but they are not noisy, cool memory very well! Here's a link where i posted my Before/After using this item:
