TR4A,
We are in the context of a High Performance Gaming Machine.
That is why I said:
The trick is to have enough RAM to keep the computer from offloading the information it has in its RAM to the Hard Drive, 1Gb is more than enough.
It is all an over simplification, but that is the way the Powers That Be want it.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. My 3DMark2001 Project Comparison did not gain any performance going from 512Mb to 1Gb. Here are my 512Mb Details:
3DMark Score: 16,580
(When you look at the details, it shows my CPU as a
AMD Duron(tm) Processor 2313 MHz, it is actually an AthlonXP 2500+ overclocked from 1.83Ghz to 2.33Ghz, just 3DMark shows it incorrectly.)
