I was wondering if 8GB is viable for gaming yet or if 4GB will be fine for the next year or 2? BTW, i will be running Vista 64bit, a phenom X4, most likely DFI's best AM2+ mobo, and a 9800 GTS. i plan on playing crysis on high settings and future games like fallout 3. thanks
For gaming purposes, we're just starting to bite into 2GB - 4GB will be more than enough for gaming for the forseeable future. 8GB shouldn't be a worry for at least another 3 years or so. Of course by then I'd like to see SSD's take off enough that we can have our hard drives and RAM combined into one, and finally eliminate one of the biggest bottlenecks in the modern PC.
