RAM / CPU saturation

[[EoM]Pr0c3550r[Q2C]]

This is an issued that has been on my mind for years.

Like at what point does CPU / RAM is too much or to little one way or the other? Where it does not make a difference anymore?

[EoM] Digital just got a really fast fast fast machine, and we had a chat about this.

[EoM] Digital 3.0 : I just got a new computer yesterday, its not my custom but its an HP Pavillion intel DualCore running Vista with 3 GB ram, 500 GB hard drive.

Well just for records, my computer is as follows:

Intel 2.7 Ghz dual core
2 Gig Ram -(512 shared with graphics)
512 MB GeForce 9300 GE graphic card -(1007 MB including shared RAM)
500 Gig HD
Blu-Ray DVD, DVD/CD writer, Lightscribe etc
Vista Home Premium

I play Q2 at absolute max everything

I play battlefield 2 and command and conquer 3 at max everything but I have to keep anti-aliasing off as that causes a bit of jerkiness.

I also play Need for speed pro street, Test drive unlimited and Colin Mcrae Dirt but have to carefully adjust graphic settings accordingly.

I think that you can never have enough RAM !!!!

At least 2 Gig if you have vista and at least 1 Gig for XP, especially with service pack 3

damn !! 2Gig for Vista !
This Home Basic has only 400

No wonder it's so slow !!

Out to buy some RAM !!

WTF !!! 400MB of RAM for vista ?

How do you handle it. 1 Gig is usaually only just enough for vista but 400 is just crazy !!!!

RAM is a computers best friend
