I would personally say no, if its just for gaming. I think the 4GB that I've got is a little overkill, tbh. Nothing as of yet really uses that much.

Better than yours. C*nt.
Worth it on 64-bit as you're actually going to be running with less RAM on a 4GB system running 64-bit software than you are running 32-bit software, due to the increased overhead of 64-bit software.
I'd say keep it and stick it in the machine. If it cost you any more than £40 then they saw you coming, and at that money it's not worth tossing about for.

Thats right because EVERY brand of memory is the same Specification and cost!

No, but I (fatally, in this case) assumed that if someone was daft enough to ask the muppets on here instead of on a specialist forum then they'd have just bought normal RAM.
Dominator stuff is quite nice - not my personal preference as I'm an OCZ man myself but still. :star:
Definately keep it still. 8GB does actually make a hell of a difference in Vista x64. Due to the way it deals with memory, the more you throw at it the better it gets.

right well i don't really consider myself daft, this has always just been , my first point of call. hardly makes me daft for asking people on cliosport where there is alwaysa wealth of info around.
Anyway. Think i'll try out 8g then and gauge it. If it's much better in windows i'll just keep it. The only reason i got that ram to start with was because i had 3 sets of ocz sli ram fail 1 after the other...so i've got this stuff from OCUK as compensation...so i figured, mayaswell get another set to upgrade to 8gig, although we'll see if it makes any difference.

So what your saying is to ask a technical question in a IT/techical section of a car forum instead of a specialist forum that your only going to get muppet answers?
Firstly, that suggests you yourself are a muppet along with the rest of us, and secondly I love the way you always thing you are the be all and end all when it comes to IT.
Im sure you are very well knowledged when it comes to PC building, but instead of ever passing on that knowledge to someone who asks a sensible question you find the need to mock them.
I suggest you take yourself and your PC Review magazines off to the "specialist forums" and stop frequenting this muppet forum....

lol wtf?!?! ok thanks!
but it has nothing to do with what he was asking
Rav4
To be fair, I think he meant ask on there instead of this forum. As people would be more knowledgegable in that forum as it's dedicated area.
However, it does not mean that we don't have some specialists here.
Thanks,
Gabi.

Thanking you Gabi.
If I want answers on how to fix my Audi, I don't ask you here. If I want answers on how I would have asked to fix my old Clio, I wouldn't have asked on the S2Forum...
An observation of here is 90% of the technical section is pub experts. If you don't like it then I shaln't apologise - as is mentioned so much on here when people don't like someone's car "We're all entitled to our opinions".
Love you all xx
