Re: Windows Vista and RAm
I've ran on 2GB just fine with Vista Home Premium 32bit.
3Gb would be a nice buffer for those moments where it's needed the odd time.
I helped pick out a computer for my sister with 3GB just in case, even though I know 2 is plenty for her. |

Chattanooga, TN | Ok ty. They are still arguing with me, even though I went to the "can You Run It" site and it surpassed all the recommended settings for the game. Sometimes I think the forums is not a very good place for information. |

Chattanooga, TN | It couldn't hurt. Is it still inexpensive? I read at one time RAM was pretty cheap. Of course it's like the stock market..lol. |

Most computers come with DDR2-667, but if the current ones in there are DDR2-800 and you add in DDR2-667, that will drop them to the same speed. |

Could you tell me how I can find out exactly which type of memory I need? And, I forget the site everyone uses for those types of things. On the tip of my tongue...grr! |

RAM is dirt cheap. I paid just under $50 for 2 sticks of 2GB DDR2 for 4 total.
Newegg has some DDR2-800 on sale now for $37 for 4 GB.
I threw 4GB in my 32 bit machine Vista Ultimate computer(it was cheaper for me to put 4gb in than 3gb). It'll access 3.581GB of it and I am currently using 2.180GB of that right now, so adding a few more sticks to your machine won't hurt. It'll most likely help, and it is not that expensive.
