shadowpope17 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think GTA is suffering a little bit from my sh*tty ram. I currently have 2GB ddr2 667. But I have read that the maximum amount of x86 Vista can handle is 3.2GB, so do you think I should purchase 2GB (but alot faster than what I have currently) 3GB, or 4GB? I have also read that dual channel dosent work with 3GB and that will decrease performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TheStig- Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) 12gb with the price of ram being so cheap go for 4 gb i went from 2gb to 4gb and gta ran a lot faster and also think about getting a 64 bit operating system Edited January 22, 2009 by -TheStig- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get that speed/type very cheap, around $10/GB. When you're ready to move to x64, put more in Did your Vista come pre-loaded? If you have a copy does it have the x64 version also? If so, install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also read that dual channel dosent work with 3GB and that will decrease performance. the performance difference (single-dual channel) is negligible. and if u have a 4 dimm socket mainboard then get 2x1gb and 2x 512mb for dual channel modus. with the intel 8 series chipset and upwards u can also plug in two 1gb dimms and ONE 2gb dimm and dual channel is working. just get two 2gb dimms and be happy i say.
