ol builds a new computer what????

exuse my newbish question but what does RAM does for good in games ? faster loading times ? more physics handling ? And I also wanna know what that comp sounds like ? must be like an jetplane

My computer is in this really thin shelf so cooling is hard, i think if i got another 6800 id take it out. I'll probably get another for unreal3.

i wonder when a 6800 or an x800 are gonna be included with crappy

pc's...like compaqs, or dells. crappy as in run of the mills, and

vid cards like that just come with the system...i know its not much,

but i love my 9800 pro

The fps difference between having 1024 instead of 512 mb in CS:Source is 0. As long as the game don't utilize more than e.g. 512 mb of ram, then it don't matter. If however it does and you only have 512 mb of ram, then it will begin using the swap file on the hdd instead. The hdd is 10-100 times slower than memory, so that results in an fps drop.

It is about the same with loading times. If it has to load stuff into the swap file instead of the ram then the load time is increased.

ol seriously what old lady did you jump for that money

I cant make sense of that piping. Where is the exit from the cpu block?

still a bit low though, working on pushing harder

holy fuck!

Screw points, give us Mhz fool!

I'd laugh if you kept pushing and your PC melted.

On second thoughts, I'd cry.
