"Over the years, processor speed isn’t the only thing that’s risen as transistors have shrunk. So, too, has the average amount of memory in mainstream computers. We’ve come a long way from the days when gamers struggled to run Doom in DOS with 4 megs of RAM - but how much do you really need?"
It's time to give your setup the upgrade of its lifetime with this Cyber Monday AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Cyber Monday deal.
It's time to experience gaming like it's meant to be experienced with this Cyber Monday Samsung Odyssey G9 curved monitor deal.
Amazon is currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on the Razer Kiyo Pro Full HD 1080p streaming webcam today.
All I know is I'm running 4GB DDR2 and I max it out whenever I game.
I used to have 4GB of DDR2 800, but on this current machine I only have 2GB. When I upgrade, it's 8GB of DDR3 1600 or more. This is a lot for the average gamer and user, but I do a lot more than game on my machine. Encoding audio files, editing large images, running many multiple programs at once, just things that require 8GB. I edit music and photos often, and right now on my system it's a chore.
Im currently got 12gb DDR3 1600 RAM. I always make sure I have more then enough, always pisses me off waiting for stuff.
Hmmm... 8-10GB when i'm on gaming mode!
I used to believe that 4gb was all that you needed but that was thinking from 2007/8 when 32 bit was all the rage. my firefox uses 500mb of memory to run its crazy but thats what it does and i multi task games and music players and explorer.exe crashes i say the more the better.
