Well, I'm buying this mostly for gaming. I will do my web work on it(Dreamweaver, photoshop), but I'm spending the money for gaming. It looks like the OSes aren't going to use the 4 gigs, though, so I'll just stick with the 2.
Thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 3:40 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: memory timing The extra numbers represent, more or less, latency or reaction time. The smaller the better. Whether the other 2 gigs will end up faster is, in part, dependent on what OS and apps you are running. Keep in mind that XP 32-bit can only address 3GB of ram. If you're mostly doing text-based stuff (word processing, surfing, not running servers locally) then more than 2 GB of ram is, IMHO, unnecessary at this point. If you're doing video/image/other large file intensive stuff (Photoshop/Fireworks, gaming, video editing, Vista) then more RAM may help out. --BenD Matthew Smith wrote: > I'm looking at two different sets of memory, one 2 gig one 4 gig.
