If you want Budget ram, that's almost as fast as the Corsair stuff and faster than most of the more expensive stuff. It isn't a recommendation though, I don't know a thing about Rosewill.
"Rosewill" is apparently the Newegg house (re)brand.Quote:

Some good, some not so much.
I think I'd stay with known brands when it comes to RAM.
If I'm gonna spend two hundred, I might as well spend two-fifty for the brand name/security. :(
What's wrong with just 1 GB?
Nothing at all. I just hate dealing with upgrades, and since I don't wanna have to mess withit for a couple years, I figure.......Quote:

in a year or so the price for that extra GiB might be half of what it is now.........
I know just what you mean.Quote:

I can see how it might take a year or two to work up to such an ordeal.
Oh boy, clocker... I can see you have been busy lately.Quote:

Everyone seems to be upgrading their RAM this week.
I wish more folks were as reasonable as Skizo.
So do the goats.

1GB of ram isn't good enough for me, I run bittorrent with a few large sized files being downloaded and playing cs source at the same time and it kind of has to adjust to the game before it stops freezing on explosions and gun fires.
Are you sure that problem is lack of RAM?Quote:

I understood it but it's just sick! :ohmy:
Well, I admit that I aim at a specialist audience.....
1 GiB of RAM should be more than enough for that, even if you're using Azureus......Quote:

if i used it right Clocker is saying that upgrading the RAM isnt that hard, its just case open, comp on its side, cables on the side, pop RAM in.

Hmm. Well, close enough...Quote:

Fine by me.Quote:

The question remains: is the second GB worth having given how far you must knock back your timings to make it run?
Maybe to you and Skizo it is.
Well, I look at the performance tab in the task manager and I had very low memory available, and whenever I free azureus, 550mb comes right back.Quote:
