well, it will be useful if some apps developers decided to put an option that disables it's resources to be written in the pagefile.....RAM nowadays are no use to be upgraded up to 16gb, but if the future of gaming for example has the option to the program to run on purely RAM and no virtual resources, then it might be a good ideas to upgrade to at least 32GB of RAM...im juz saying ^^ seriously...even if the 8gb ram have about 4gb free under heavy load..have u tried checking the pagefile usage?
fro example, im typing this on safari, running task manager, i select a tab VM to display....lol it uses 185k MB of RAM...and at the same time it uese 225k MB of Virtual Memory.....so that's well above 300k MB ^^ as the HDD technology are getting slower, virtual memory are obsalute...so higher RAM + a future program, = very3 extreme fast machine ^^ On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 8:25 AM, THEfog . <[email protected]> wrote: > Pretty much to reason that a 32 bit machine can't use more than 3.25GB of > ram is because it runs out of assignable address for the RAM modules, and if > it can't assign more address than it cannot be used because the RAM registar > chip will not allow duplicate addresses due to corruption plausiblilties. > Even with the physical address extension limit for windows it will not use > the other 750mb of your 4GB, 64bit has no such problem because it can assign > more RAM due to its extended bit width and can assign up to something like 4 > petabytes and 256 terabytes lol but if RAM isn't being used it just sits > there and has no function other than to complete the ciruit > > THEfog > > On 11/03/2010 8:39 AM, "Oscar Lundqvist" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Get more RAM, even if today 4 GB is more than enough but if you want a pc > that can stand out in the long run and be upgradeable or able to play more > demanding games than 8 GB is sure nice to sit on from start.
