for amd you should be thinking 4 or 8. if 8 is not affordable then get 4 and later upgrade to 8
I was new to building when I built my gaming rig in Spring of '08. I thought that if I put 8 GB of RAM on there I was going to have a really fast PC. I thought windows would load as much of itself as it could into main memory and games, such as Bioshock and Quake 4 would load themselves to the half of their file size on disk.
But, I don't know if the 8 GB is helping. Windows will only load 1 GB of itself into memory. If I run a game than another GB gets loaded. So, I have 8 GB and only 2 GBs gets used. I know that if I only had 2 GBs installed then windows would load only 256 Megs of itself into ram, there would be a lot of virtual memory/Hard disk dependency going on and my games would start pulling level data from the hard drive one quarter of the way through the map!
It makes me wonder why someone would need a Radeon HD 5870 with 2 GB of video RAM -- Is the video game internal operating system really going to load that much frame data into video RAM or is it only going to use a fourth of it?
