Title: Will RAM help
Post by: Kamchak on November 12, 2000, 09:07:00 PM
I'm just curious, and I am not really having any problems, but I was wondering if more RAM actually helps.  I have 128 megs on a 500 P!!!.  Would another 128 actually do anything for me?  I have a viper 770 video card.

The short answer is no... 128MB of RAM is plenty for the game. The only reason you might want more is if you were running on Win 2K which uses alot more system resources just for the OS to function. It wouldn't improve framerates in the game at all. In your desktop apps it might open windows faster by a few tenths of a second...hardly worth the money...

If you are running win9x (95, 98, me) you will notice no performance increase at all.  If you are on Win2k you may notice an increase.

Win9x really cannot effectively use any more than 128mb of ram, so going above that provides no real benefit.
