XP doesn't need 4gb of memory nor will it ever use it.

512 is minimal, 1gb being the sweetspot. 2gb for those that play massive RPG games (EQ2 etc ) and video/image etc work...

Also , there is no game in existence which runs better with more than 1 gig then with just 1 gig.

FWIW I read there is some benefit when playing a crowded World of Warcraft.


links ? I want to see actual benchmarks showing better gaming performance with more than 1G. I'd like to know in what games and settinga, if any, is this true. I haven't seen any test showing such results.

No, it was no test, only comments posted on gamers forums, so take them with a grain of salt.
