Buy a 512 if you can get a good deal on it. Otherwise a total of 512 (256 + 256+) is plenty to run most games.


512MB to run games? That sounds overboard, but I've been out of the PC gaming market for a while.

I actually LOST performance on MDK2 when I went from 256 to 384. Only good reason I've been able to come up with so far is the longer address necessary for 384.

I can easily bog down a 1 GB machine, but not a PC.....an AIX box with 1 GB often isn't enough for me.....it's fine for a primary workstation, but I can't run much as far as simulations go with only 1 GB.
