Sorry, someone's comment here made me think to create this poll. I thought I'd get the thoughts of the people here...

"Keep your "shit" comments out of it please. Thanks!" That comment caused the thread to be locked.

You're going to have to show me where a member said it runs "BEST" with 1GB, in the thread I read it's said many times that it runs OK with 1GB, but 2GB would be better.

Quit trolling, and lock this shit up mod.

it depends on what you're running on the machine other than the OS

Thanks! You agree with me then.

BTW, as for your last statement...that's a prime example of trolling in my thread. Keep your "shit" comments out of it please. Thanks!

4 GB is my answer but you don't seem to have that as a option ?

Yeah, it's just between these. With 4GB and more you start to get into the 32-bit vs 64-bit conversation.

Why are people voting for 512MB though?

1gb for non-gaming, 2gb for gaming. Anything else is icing on the cake, but unnecessary at this point. Anyone who tells you otherwise simply doesnt know wtf theyre talking about.

Considering 2GB of ram is only like $50 hell I don't see why you would consider anything else.

You should try Crysis in Windows Vista with 2 GB of ram vs 4 GB of ram with all settings on high. Resolution at 1600x1200 or above.

As much as possible. For Vista I'd take more slower RAM over less faster RAM.

Vista runs fine with 1GB for browsing/email/other undemanding applications. My D420 with Vista and 1GB rarely uses more than 700MB. Get over it.
