Heres my set-up
Fufitsu Siemens SCALO T
Pentium 4 3.4 HT
250 GIG HD
DVD writer
Mutlticard reader
512 little RAM buggers
ATI X800 256 AGP card (updated from 9600)
It plays half life 2 ok, not on specatcular settings, but not bad..
I dont know what type of RAM my computer uses, and it's not documented on my manual.
but does RAM make that much of a difference? would an extra gig make it play games that much better??!
thanks!
CPU-Z has information on RAM I think.
Google it, I don't have the link.
cant find the bleeding information anywhere!
Doom 3 benefits masively from 1Gb RAM also, doesn't have to load info from the HDD after you walk through every other door.
It can only run in medium with 512Mb.
I know because I got 512Mb for Christmas and could only play HL2 in medium settings, until I got another 512Mb RAM the next week.
I'm always having problems with my computer not being up to scratch!
I play with everything set to high (no AA, AF) in 1024x768 and I've never seen the framerate go as low as 40.
I only have an Athlon XP3200+ (effectively, anyway), 512mb and a Radeon 9700 Pro.
