Was I wrong?
« Reply #30 on: May 05, 2005, 08:04:59 PM »
I have a G5 with 8 gigs of ram, but it does not make a huge difference when playing games. It really shines when running big programs and multitasking.  I know a guy that has 4 G5s linked together as some kind of supercomputer,  but i'm not shure if it would make much difference for gaming.  Those monsters are usually dedicated to a work function.  I'm thinking that if that guy does have a 13 giger, that he cannot utilise all of it for a single program.
