[cmge]

would it be worth to upgrade to 2gb of ram from 1gb?

this what i have currently in mind

2x512

and thinking of getting this instead

2x1024

wat are your suggestions? is it worth the upgrade?.. the timings on the 2x512 seems to be better than the 2x1024... would i noticed a big difference in the timing differences?... any help is appreciated.. thansk

It certainly couldn't hurt.

I have 1 gig, but I know I'll never truly be happy until I have the largest capacity module per slot.

(currently 4x1gb is my dream, but when 2gb chips are mainstream, i'll want 8gb ram..hehe)

I currently have some ocz tccd but I've got that exact 2gb kit coming to me in the next couple days so then I can give you a comparison.

to play games...

You don't really need more than a gig to play games. However, I have 2GB myself because I do other things that require alot of ram, and by having that much ram, it can never hurt. Unless you never use up that ram, which would mean a waste of money.

hehe not so much right now... but i really want to get my hands on F.E.A.R... ... but i do other things not just games on my pc... i also do video encoding

and im thinking with 2gb of ram my upgrade wont be for along time...

Got my new ram tonight. It does help a bit with gaming, probably more than a bit with games that use up a lot of memory like BF2. For me, it'll probably cost me about $20-25 over what I'll sell my tccd for...and since I don't have a great overclocking system, seems like a worthwhile upgrade.

definately, games + video encoding = never enough ram...already got 1.5gb and my next platform upgrade(possibly crossfire in a year or two) will definately be dual core AMD + 4x1gb ram...dream machine. it will render video's in avid xpress pro hd like a fish in water

and play F.E.A.R. :P
