tell that "other guy" that he is dead wrong, and a n00b.

I told you that he seems to know a lot about computers.

well he is wrong. do you want me to go into BF2, then take a screen shot of my memory usage?

He says that the more ram you have the more ram the games will use. It's kind of the porportional idea.

Of course they will use more because they can access more when needed to keep the game running smooth. Hence why 2 GB for BF2 is a good idea because it can use more then 1Gig of memory.

"He" is wrong again. so in his idiotic thinking if i have a machine that has 4GB, the game will use 3.8GB of ram (assuming the os takes 200MB)? this is ridiculous. your friend is a moron that is stuck a couple behind us and has absolutely know programming knowledge....

go to newegg and select motherboards and then set the filter to just show nf3 boards...

If you look at the newegg customer review on the motherboard there's some problem with the sata. What is that?

Can anyone reply to this?
