*Rings the bell * LETS GET IT ON !.. A Gig is plenty, you don't need an extra in there even if you are playing BF2..there is still that other half gig that you can use for w/e, background crap, music, chat clients, whatever else you have.
coz using that much on background progs is total bs.
i havent got BF2 or Doom3 at the moment, so i cant check how much mem they use on my comp. but there is absolutely no way in all the 9 hells that BF2 is using up that much of your memory.
ive seen it go +300000k wile playin Bf2 (sry not sure wut that translates to in megs).
btw, if u'r gonna OC then get G SKill, it's the best ram for OC'ing.
I will never buy Corsair XMS again, its good RAM but I dont know it just doesnt stand out. The high quality OCZ products are the best and at a reasonable price. The Platinum Revision2 series or the Gold series are your best bet.
