(taking this at face value, since 8-minute load times don't (can't!) exist irl) :thumbsup:, a gb is a big upgrade over 512mb for even normal winXP usage, much less cutting-edge games.

Heh, that's nothing... I have a few servers at work that have 12, and I have one on order that will have 16. Problem is that the consumer versions of Windows only see 4 GB, so you need to run something like Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux to be able to utilize that much memory.

I'm a bit jealous, though... Even though my laptop has a Gig of memory, it won't play Half Life 2 because the graphics card on it sucks :(

Kinda like bragging about having a big penis on a penis enlargement forum.

The Gross National Product of Botswana is less than half that of the nation formerly known as French Indochina.

Of course it SDRAM :(
All memory for contemporary PCs is SDRAM, unless you've got RDRAM. :)

congrats man. i only have 2x256MB in my rig. DoomIII is the newest game I own, and it does alright, I'm not complaining. But another 2x256MB is on my Xmas list.

Half-life crashed hard, but I finally got it up and running

WOW...OMG...da-amn...HALF-LIFE IS SO SMOOTH NOW. It used to stutter like hell with constant disk access (paging) but now, it has managed to impress me again (as if that takes much ;) )

Perhaps it also has to do with the fact that DDR was running @ 64bits(or whatever it is) wide since I only had one stick of RAM. Now I guess the DDR mode is helping out.

2500+@3200
1024MB pc3200:D
WD120GB

9800pro 128MB

HLF2:
1600x1200
All detail setting to max
2AA/2AF

In the CS: source ST
Vsync on: 34.93fps vsync off:40.92 fps

Load times are no ust a few seconds:D I'm happy.

1 GB Dual Channel DDR400 here. i know that's near obsolete for a desktop, but it's not bad for a year old laptop. :)
