New System - memory
I'll be in the market for a new system in the not too distant future.
I've pretty well made up my mind about most things but am unsure of the limitations of 512Mb memory (twin 256) Vs the benefits of 1Gb (twin 512). For simming, gaming and just general computer use, is there really much of an advantage with having 1Gb. Longer replays would be nice but there'd need to be benefits other than that to justify the extra expense imo. All comments/opinions welcome. TIA. |

the main difference i've noticed with 1GB over 512MB is that it eliminates
the occasional stutter i'd get at times while gaming.
