PC beats all console gaming

uhm...yes

@Xardas955 The more RAM you use, the more DIMMs you are trying to squeeze into one channel.

Why do you think Gigabyte's UD7 and Assassin 2 X79 boards only have 4 DIMM slots rather than 8? Quad-channel, one channel per DIMM means full performance, rather than switching the bandwidth lanes for each DIMM.

I've upgraded my amount of RAM, Crysis didn't run faster [CPU and GPU only]. Unless it's to do with any possible (???) scaling that the CE2 does to read the current memory consumption/usage.

@AmH032uTuBe But DDR2 is slower and new high end CPU needs faster RAM so they can use they full potential. Plus with DDR3 you can build PC with now up to (correct if I'm wrong) 64GB of ram vs 8gb Max on DDR2. Another one is games. They need more and more RAM, for example Crysis I had it with 4 GB of Ram and hen I've upgraded to 8 GB(On the same speed and clocks) It ran faster

omg this is old but good stuff

[Shitcrosss]

Fuck . Me . thats awesome..

@inachu - DDR3 doesn't do anything better really. I've built many computers, with DDR2 and DDR3, and I haven't noticed anything. RAM speeds just help speeds between the RAM and the Storage device (e.g. HDD and/or SSD), therefore increasing load times, mainly in games. But 1-2 seconds doesn't make a difference to me. Game levels that last 30 mins still only take around 20 seconds to load off of a standard SATA HDD.

I'm still on DDR2 (2X2GB 800MHz @ 4-4-4-12-3T) and I'm happy with it.

@inachu Cause everyones broke lol. I work at best buy and you will be surprised how unwilling people are to save just a little bit more to get a better computer. They want it asap and are also dissapointed asap. Everyone on here is smart I hope lol, but most people are not.

@isrsan High AA\AF Levels, and having every graphic setting on as high as possible. I have 1 9800GTX, and will soon upgrade to a second one to run Dual-SLi. Even in 2010, with the advent of DX11 cards, I am perfectly fine with my card. It preforms great for the price. I may also go Tri-SLi in the future (only can afford 2 cards for now lol).

bon style ce presentateur

[inachu]

Now in 2010 I stilll see computers being sold with just DDR2 memory! GRRRR!!!!!!

stupid

[inachu]

Nforce network drivers by nvidia suck. or at least they did back in 2008. Vista never installed correctly. Ffoward to today and Is ee no more issues with nforcechipsets.

But it was pure hell back then. GPU video companies should stick to graphics.
