Ram boost

[FallenPaladin 0]

I`m planning to give my PC a memory upgrade from 512MB DDR RAM to 1GB DDR RAM, before I do my next processor upgrade. Can I expect some improvements in the smoothness of OFP or maybe even turn some more details on? Anyone experience there?

(BTW I have an Athlon XP 2000+)

I think you'd be able to run higher texture detail / LOD, since if I put mine to high, I end up stuck in my swap file, listening to my HDD chug and not much else happen Thats with 512MB of RAM.

I doubt you'll see much of an improvement at all in OFP and games in general. It would be useful and give a large performance boost for a graphics edition workstation or something, but not really for games.

If you'll search The FAQ for "ram", you can read what BIS has to say about this.

Well, then I`ll better spend 210 Euro for an Athlon XP 2400+

That sounds a little pointless, I would just save the money and wait for a worthwhile upgrade.

Unless you are one of those people who must spend money as soon as they get it

Save your money and do a real upgrade in a year's time when we finally have 333MHz FSB CPU', 333MHz DDR, Serial ATA and AGP 8x

Have BIS said whether some of this migt have changed with newer revisions of the engine. Even 1.46 wasn't available by then, and a lot have changed since.

If i would have a XP 2000+ i would never get a 2,4 for 210 euro! You will prolly see very little (if any) difference right now.

Umm..why mess with AthlonXP in a years time. Get Athlon64

I am likely going to jump on that bandwagon as soon as our distributor has them! Thank goodness for my account where I work, I can pay it off over two months!

Well.... i'd safe your money for the next 64-bit CPU generation.

Its not worth it to upgrade ur rig right now.

And what software are all of you 64-bit fans going to run? If you are talking about using the 32-bit software of today, it won't be cost-efficient to be the first kid on the block with one of those spiffy 64-bit processors.

The 64-bit software that will make it worth owning one of those systems isn't going to be out until the first generation of 64-bit processors is obsolete.

We have those all now??

My Epox 8RDA+ is lacking SATA and RAID which is pretty godamn annoying but the FSB is 200, the ram is running sync and it has AGP 8x (not that 8x means a thing for perforance)
