just in case anyone doesn't know yet, more than 4gb of ram on a 32-bit OS won't even show up

i thought the limit was 3?

[rtil]

no, it's 4
and the limit for a 64-bit is something like 128

but even then, most apps are still 32-bit and can only allocate 4gigs. but the good thing is that with all that extra ram space each 32-bit app has more breathing room

though maybe its because i have MSN, chrome, itunes, zonealarm, skype, steam, AIM, dead space, flash, and photoshop on all at the same time.

this is something you do if you want your computer to die young

[rtil]

oh god i just saw zonealarm in that list

why

or if you have a badass computer like mine that can run a browser, photoshop, flash, itunes, etc at the same time

4 gb of RAM isn't as great as you may think it is. i need to upgrade to 8gb, because my comp cant handle all the shit i put on.

though maybe its because i have MSN, chrome, itunes, zonealarm, skype, steam, AIM, dead space, flash, and photoshop on all at the same time.

ah well.

but yeah, maybe get at least 6gb of RAM.

2GB is good enough for a lot of things

4GB is good enough to run just about anything

8GB is just overkill

do you really have to run all of those programs all at the same time, even in the background?

i'm easily annoyed by long startup times

2008 and 09 also made me realize that alot of my inefficiencies and problems stem from one central problem:

i use a pc from 96 with very little upgrades to it.

Wow, and I thought going from a shitty computer made in '03 to a new computer that cost me around a thousand dollars was a huge upgrade. o_O

iTunes is a huge resource hog. If you use a program like foobar2000 or hell, any other music program in existence, your 4GB of ram probably wouldn't be such a problem.

3. gskill: bad things come from gskill, go with either kingston (HyperX, not the normal brand), corsair, patriot or OCZ, you won't be disappointed

What's wrong with GSkill? My ram is by GSkill and the computer I use runs super well.

oh god i just saw zonealarm in that list

Does ZoneAlarm use up a lot of ram? I originally didn't install it when I switched to Windows 7 because it wasn't available for that OS at the time, but I've been meaning to download it again someday.

i dunno it's just a bad piece of software that false positive's all over the place more than it helps

ok lemme dumb that down for ya a bit

1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131600 this one is much nicer than what you're planning on getting, also much better for gaming n video editing n shit

2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820104151 more bang for a little more buck

3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136320 though slightly smaller, the performance will be noticeable

hope this post is more helpful than the last one
