Pleseantly supresed(go typo yourself!)

I'll get right to the point.My system was a 3000+, 1 GB of ram, and an 8600gt OCed. I upgraded to a 4200+ 2 GBs of ram, and the same GPU.I was astounished in company of heroes(opposing fronts), the graphics options have a little meter to show how much ''memory'' will be used with your current graphic settings. Before I would have quite a bit of a defecit, but I thought it only guaged video memory, I WAS WRONG, since I got the extra GB of RAM, I now have EXTRA, a lot of extra(like 30%ish)I was quite supprised by this, seriously! Has anyone else notice this?Pleseantly supresed(go typo yourself!)
I'm a little confused, are you saying that you have less or more memory usage?Pleseantly supresed(go typo yourself!)
What I mean to say is I haveMORE availible, and as a matter a fact more than I need to run everything on max, where as with one GB I didn't have enough, and I am supprised the RAM affected the engine in such a way.
yeah ram does has a great effect on lots of things
Thanks, i just thought that meter guaged Video RAM, well that is a pleasant supprise in any case.:)
When I upgraded my pc, memory (ddr2 800) was pretty expensive so I only bought 512mb. I played for something like 6 months or more %26 suffered. InCS:S or DoD I was always last to get into a new map, lots of stuttering. Other games took forever to load %26 more st st stuttering. Grafix settings were lower than I expected. God forbid if I switched (alt-tab) back to desktop! And I never realise this was caused by RAM until the price dropped %26 I bought another 512mb stick.I couldn't believe the difference! Gfx settings could go up about 2 notches, I could enable things like shadows, loading times pretty much halved, hardly any stuttering (except in Oblivion, lol). Plus, with 2 sticks it ran in dual channel, 128 bit.I now run 3gb. So, the moral of the story?DO NOT SKIMP ON RAM, EVER!!
