I think spendinng a fortune on a gig of RAM just to get one game to run 10% better than it did on 256 MB is a waste of money perfectly. problem with large amounts of RAM is that you lose the benefit after a while. Your memory controller actually ends up spending more time looking for the data than it would do coming out of a fast indexed swap file.

Spend the money if you want, I just don't think the end justifies the cost.
So you're telling me that 512MB DDR RAM will work more efficiently, and hence quicker than 1 GB DDR RAM? Well since you've more experience than I have, I'll go with your advice. And in the future if I do need 1 GB of RAM, I'll just buy another 512MB slot .
