Yut - Q6600@3GHz, 8GB G.Skill@1333 9-9-9-24, DX38BT@333MHz, Vision Tek HD 4850 @680/1143, Seagate 500GB, Vista Ultimate 64
Vista x64 2GB to 4GB is quite a boost. I've noticed it and others on here I recommended it too noticed it too. The system no longer is laggy under load.
Yeah, I don't hear my HD grinding all the time anymore. It's nice.
Might laugh but at the moment I have...
-43 FireFox windows open (happens when I leave my computer on for days)
Just upgraded yut to 8GB from 2gb. Much better performance Haven't run memtest, but it booted without needing to change voltages or timings or anything else from my current OC. Now to load up some VM's.
Might laugh but at the moment I have...
-43 FireFox windows open (happens when I leave my computer on for days)
-1 Internet Explorer window open
-Windows Media Player
-Photoshop CS3
-Dreamweaver CS3
-FRAPS
-Nero SmartStart
-NVIDIA CP
-Matlab
-Outlook
-FileZilla
In total 85 processes....
Physical memory usage: 84%
Who said 8GB was a waste again?

Whats the need to have 40+ browser windows open?
i saw a pretty good increase in performance when i went from 4gb to 8gb. I do tend to open up a game of tf2, or left 4 dead, alt-tab out, get distracted, wander off, come back, load up some recorded tv shows, pop into firefox to check mail, read [H], (making it the 4th or 5th instance), get distracted yet again, decide i want to do some video editing, get frustrated, minimize that, go back to firefox (opening instance #6) and read how to do things, decide i want a custom splash screen for my video, open up photoshop ....
i wouldn't need 8 gigs if i wasn't so bad about leaving things open.
Wouldn't one benefit more from higher freq. RAM with tighter timings than more
of it? I mean don't you have to cut your freq back anyway to run more ram?
For the typical gamer, sure. But with what I do the 8gb makes a difference by reducing how often the system swaps. And no I did not cut the freq or timings back to run more ram. The ram is not overclocked though so maybe if I was running OC'd memory I'd have to, but if that was the case I'd have bought 1600 in the first place. This 1333 allows me to oc the cpu from 2.4 to 3.0 without oc'ing the ram, which is good enough for me. The next system I buy will probably be higher performance, but this was more of a budget system.
