Re: RAM gaming

said by matt5:

Cool story, the whole start was not even a reply to you but someone saying a game will never use over 4gigs, if my vid card (show me a game not using dx) can have 4 gigs of memory usable (using 3 from RAM) and the game uses 1 gig... well I hit 4 gigs did I not?

no, you did not.

Just because your video card "can" use that mem doesn't mean it "does".

A gamer won't use 4GB unless they are doing something other than gaming. I can have ie open in several windows, youtube playing music in the backgroud, have steam on, email open and game and still not use up 4GB of ram. I monitor my memory usage 100% of the time and have never used 4GB while gaming.

Cool and I can, so whos right, o yes, myself... my PC rebooted LAST NIGHT, due to the power going out... first pic is NO games open just IE and e-mail...

Next is same + a game... OOPS 4 gigs (gota count modified)... USED not even counting cached. And that was one fast match just to load a map... wait till we get a few maps loaded up...

I'm done have fun, my ****free**** game is 8 gigs out of 16...
