i have 4.7 ram how much do i need if im a gamer

[howto4u]

@FKNclan It depends on what games you play. The general rule I follow is add as much as you can. The more memory, the better most games run.

How did they film the LCD without seeing the refresh rate lines?

I have two RAM : 1GO and 512MO and when I test the memory I find just 768 MO RAM :( plzz help

@ahmednet92 I don't know what PC you have or it's memory specifications, but it looks to me like your PC requires the same type (and size) of memory so it looks like you are getting a middle speed of the two modules.

@andrewlee999999999 Check your Cpu, Graphics card, etc... and see what you can upgrade. Also try to get Windows 7 if you don't have it already. It also may be a good idea to get a fresh re-install of Windows. I did that and it bumped up my Cpu power by .06 :D

4.4 to 5.0 WOOT.

I have a 4 GB computer, which was passed down to me from my father, so god knows how old it is, but when i'm playing a game it's always a bit laggy which is a surprise for 4 GB, so I don't know if its the memory or if its the fact that it's old. But i'm debating on buying RAM or trying to find ways to refresh some of the RAM to get it going faster.

@FKNclan If you want to play the bigger games you might as well get 8 GB of RAM ... I only have to and i wanna cry :,(

I know it says I can handle up to 8 DDR2 Ram but how can I find out how many ram slots I have? I would like to know before buying any ram
