Title: how much memory do you think i need Post by: memory on August 25, 2004, 06:28:37 pm I am 16 years old, use word, ichat, rvs, ghost recon, gameranger, americas army, itunes and some other programs and was wondering how much memory do you think i need with my 1.25GHz eMac. I dont use too many extensive programs.
Thanks Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: BFG on August 25, 2004, 06:31:49 pm Hello memory :)
Straight up, u want 512MB of RAM minimum and if you like your games id suggest you push that up to 1Gig - you can never have to much RAM and it will keep a smile on your mac :D Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: Supernatural Pie on August 25, 2004, 06:34:37 pm I dont use too many extensive programs. I use rvs, ghost recon, americas army Apparently you do. Get a gig. Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: TError on August 25, 2004, 07:10:37 pm i would get 768mb. the eMac ships with 256mb, so i would put a 512mb block in it.
i have 768mb myself, and it doesn't seem to make a bottleneck. Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: BFG on August 25, 2004, 08:15:12 pm i forget, whats the max those imacs can handle?
Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: Civrock on August 25, 2004, 08:20:58 pm 1GB (only)... iMacs and eMacs.
Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: |MP|Nomad on August 25, 2004, 08:38:14 pm Then I would compare the prices for the 768 and 1 gig. you might get a cheaper rate if you go with 1 gig.

Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: cO.gabe on August 26, 2004, 12:44:08 am Get as much as you can pay for... ghost recon doesn't need much, but RvS definitely does.
How would i know? I have a G5 and I get like 20-25 fps in Raven Shield because i only have 256 ram. :\ Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: Maniac on August 26, 2004, 03:10:43 am Ouch Gabe you got like 8 slots put some more RAM in that badboy.
Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on August 26, 2004, 06:08:32 am Gabe you can get plenty of RAM for dirt cheap @ MacSolutions.com 1 GB, 512 x2 RAM, is $147. Its been cheaper, but still, its pretty good, considering it gets a lifetime warrenty.
Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: Typhy on August 26, 2004, 06:16:25 am Max out your RAM. RAM is the easiest and cheapest way to improve your overall performance, for both regular use and games.

Either way, i have about $150, and i gotta buy birthday gifts, gas for my car, and i'm gonna need a haircut pretty soon too. So ill just wait till christmas ;0 Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 26, 2004, 07:23:17 am Max out your RAM.

Title: Re:how much memory do you think i need Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on August 26, 2004, 02:23:41 pm As far as i know it was only showing USD, but if you did some digging you might be able to find otherwise?
