I'd say that running Vista 4 GB is a must.
lol, nevar

An exabyte (EB) is 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes.
So, that's 16EB.

(2^64)/(2^60) = 16 exabit, or 2 exabyte.
For 32 or 64 bit?sergeriver wrote:

I have 32 bit Vista with 2GB of RAM, and games are pretty laggy. Could be drivers, idk, but the lag dies down after quite a while so I'm lead to believe it is a RAM issue.
I'd say 3GB of RAM in Vista 32 bit is about equal to 2GB in XP. I can't really say for 64 bit, never used it personally. I know I'd want 4GB minimum, but perhaps more, I dunno.
i have 3GB!Nessie09 wrote:
But what about 3GB
Well, I suppose there aren't a lot of people with that.
And yes, more is most of the times better. Only more RAM in computer = less money in wallet.
4's better than 2? No wai!
3x1gb would most likely mean no dual channel, so slower than 2x1gb (assuming all the sticks are identical).Nessie09 wrote:

Or am I waay off the mark here?
Only if you play games. I had Vista running with 2 gigs only. Didn't play any games though.sergeriver wrote:

Not true...I'm running Vista Home Premium with 2 gigs of DDR2-800 now and I get 12,000 3D Marks with an 8800 GTX and E6600..Sup wrote:

So whats your point? You would get more 3D mark points if you had 4 gigs?Poseidon wrote:

I'm running Vista Ultimate with 2GB DDR2-667 and I get 11,000 3Dmarks and no stuttering in any recent games at all. TF2, CoD4, WiC, etc etc. all run stutter-free. on my PC, vista barely uses more ram than XP. An upgrade to 4GB might increase load times but it's far from essential.Poseidon wrote:

Serge said that running 4gb with Vista is a must and you said you need 4 gigs if you play games on Vista... I'm saying it's not necessary?.Sup wrote:

It is not necessary but 4gb will give you significant reduction in loading times and make OS more "responsive" when multitasking if you know what I mean.Poseidon wrote:

Yes, but it's not "a must". In fact, I do just fine in games like CoH, Flight Sim X especially as I'm training for flight school, Crysis...etc. I had pretty decent FPS in Crysis.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Miss understood you. Well i read a lot of forums and they all recommend 4Gb in Vista for gaming.Poseidon wrote:

Oh I'm sure it'd help me. But it's not necessary for me right now. I'd rather look ahead to when Nehalem comes out in the winter so I can upgrade to DDR3 instead of wasting away money on DDR2 now..Sup wrote:

TheAussieReaper says that 4GB is bigger than 2GB
I got my DDR2 memory for 50€ thats 65$. (2GB 1066MHz) Thats cheap for the memory I have and it has Micron D9 chips which is the best memory chip available. I think I won't be going with DDR3 anytime soon.Poseidon wrote:

I could get 4gb pretty decent ddr2 with lifetime warranty for 45€. I would say it is worth it even tho we who are getting Nehalem will jump to DDR3 next year.

It will be DDR3 only compatible? Is it confirmed?GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

it is confirmed. It has integrated 2 or 3 channel DDR3 controller. some low end ones might have DDR2 support but expect them to use different socket..Sup wrote:

A few hours before I saw this thread I decided to buy another 2 gigs of RAM tomorrow.
Now I'm even more excited after reading the .pdf.

So from tomorrow on you will have 2032 MB of RAM?PBAsydney wrote:
