1GB vs 2GB UT3 1280*1024 medium settings S939

[AFG34]

I have 1 gig of ram atm, X2 3800 @ 2.5ghz, gonna get an 8800gt in couple of days. But want to know if i should add another gig of ram or not.

If you play games I think 2GB is the new standard. It's so cheap now why not.

Keep in mind i will Only play UT3 with this and i will only play @ 1280*1024 medium-high settings

I've had a minimum of 1.5GB of RAM for the past 4 years, and games like Quake 4 or Far Cry require more than 1GB.

I would add another 1GB - you might discover that your game runs much better!

Spring for it, waste of cash to run a 8800GT with 1GB Ram, 1GB just won't be able to feed the thing. And yes UT2003 can eat the memory on large maps, such as Strangelove and AirPower mutates maps.

More memory can never hurt. If you're running XP I recommend 2GB and for Vista go to 4GB. Vista will always make use of your memory.

Vista doesn't have much to do with using 4 gb of memory. You just need a 64 bit OS . I'd go for 2 GB if you can afford it AFG34. In interviews, Jeff Morris has said that more RAM (system or video) will make UT3 perform better.
