youre fine
An extra 2 gb of ram would not hurt at all. 4 gb total is a good upgrade when running games on modern OS.
Yeah an extra 2GB of ram is all you need.
[editline]04:34PM[/editline]
oh 32-bit vista. Get an extra gig.
How much would the 2 gigs benefit me?
Not much. But it's a cheap upgrade, so no harm done. Oh and [i]do[/i] get 2GB as the saving you'd make by getting 1GB is next to nothing.
Does Win7 support 4gb of ram on 32bit?
[quote=eliteguy;17852051]does win7 support 4gb of ram on 32bit?[/quote]
3.0.
[QUOTE=RJ102;17852141]Yes.[/QUOTE]
And so does Vista. But the problem your going to run into is that in can only do a total of 4gb. So if you put 4gb of ram in your comp it will only show 3 due to your 1gb GPU.
Used "Yes" as a temporarily answer till I searched around :colbert:

[QUOTE=mblunk;10565784]So if you have a 512MB video card, you can use up to 3.5GB of RAM because 512MB is half a gig, and since system memory gets last address priority, the VRAM (video ram on the graphics card) gets addresses first. If you have a 1GB graphics card, you can use up to 3GB.[/QUOTE]

uh?
OP just get 64 bit windows 7 when it comes out.
[QUOTE=RJ102;17853150]uh?[/QUOTE]
he asked if windows 7 will support 4GB RAM, not how much RAM he'll be able to use with that car
and I gave a definite answer, where the hell did "3.5 at most" come from? it's a 1GB card, it doesn't vary depending on how it feels today

I was talking about how much Windows 7 can support, so I said 3GB Ram, and just gave a little fun fact about how the maximum is 3.5.
But no one likes my fun fact so now I'm all sad. :frown:
Fun Fact: RJ102 is sad
That is true.

Did you know that there are 256MB GPUs, and *gasp* even 128MB GPUs?
It's too late fun facts don't make me happy anymore.
Seriously, is this the "Disagree with everything I post" thread
