The difference in Ram???

You're not going to be playing Crysis on High.artiedeadat40

Ha, are you kidding me? I know I will ATLEAST play it on high with a AMD® Phenom™ X4 9550 Quad Core 2.2GHz, and a 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600 GT. I am not asking that question, I am asking the performance difference, and Crytek even stated that you can play Crysis on High with 2gb of Ram, hell event the feature here on gamespot proved that. Once again, how much of a overall PERFORMANCE difference between the two?

You won't notice anything.PwningStick

thankyou

Dude I have an Intel E8400 with an eVGA 9800GTX KO and it barly plays Crysis on high you don't stand a chance unless you go sli. With the ram if you have Vista yes if you have XP no.

Well all I can say is that you must of **** up your computer someway because those specs could easily play crysis on high. And adding to the fact that you just said "you cant play crysis on high" when all I told you was the RAM specs shows you dont know what the hell your talking about.

9600 GT won't be able to maintain High at a very large resolution.RikkAndrsn

True I have only tried it at 1600 x 1050 on a 22" moniter. It runs fine but not perfect.

No its because you said you are trying to save as much money as possible when a GB of ram is like $50 unless it is DDR3

For the person above that said he could not play it on high, well he can, I just build a computer with a 9600gt for a friend and he can play on high @ 1440x900, not sure how well it scales at higher rez though. His monitor is only 19".

Also 3gb would not be a odd number. you buy 2x 1gig and 2x 512, thats 4 slots in dual channel.

Most places don't bother selling 512 MB sticks for ddr2 6400 and up. Crucial for one. Second, the price difference between adding one more gig and two gigs is nearly insignificant with ram prices.

Thus I assumed he was contemplating a single stick of ram.

I want to know the answer to this too.

Is there really a big difference in performance with 2GB or 3GB of RAM when gaming?

From what I can find on the net, YES if you have Vista... and a lot of contradicting arguments of YES and NO if you have XP.

I use XP, so I'm totally on the fence about upgrading my RAM. I have 4 slots (two with 512MB currently) and could add another two 512MB or two 1GB. Either way both options would run the RAM in dual channel.

I'm not sure, but I think only Crysis and (Assanin's Creed?) would take advantage of 3GB of RAM... and the difference may be indistinguishable (like +3fps or something)

This is all I have found by reading a lot of other message board posts and articles on the net.
