4 gigs of ram?

[Infomatic]

Actually launching your own spaceship might require less memory then some of the games out today

Haha, just what I was thinking too.

Great minds think alike

99% of the people in the world would never use 4Gb of memory, currently.

It's only for 64bit OS', and just really not even logical to buy as it's not needed unless your trying to launch a NASA space shuttle ...

2x1Gb will yield better timings too, and is definitely the better way to go.

Nah, 32-bit Linux works great with 4gb of ram, but Windows is another story.

 

[Tyler1989]

32 bit should have no problem using 4 GB as it's the natural hardware limit but like the general said when poorly coded it may not work so well such as winodws.

Your right most don't use the same applications I do but many games today even take such ram then if you add in Vista which is due in half a years time it's another story.

I regret buying 2 GBs of ram and I wish I bougt 4. Daily I max out my 2 GBs of ram.

What apps do you use?

 

[boomstick666]

mac G5 can take 8G of dual channels. and if theres more slots, you can actually put more. its just windows have problem allocating 3G or more memory.

 

[The General]

Mac G5 is 64-bit.

 

[Trifid]

If you get a AMD AM2 or Conroe board you can stick 8GB in.

You also need more VRAM as well. I have warnings that my VRAM is running low. I have a 256MB card btw.

You have an AM2 mobo/cpu?
