2GB of RAM vs 1GB of RAM

Might borrow a mates 2 x 512mb to see what difference it makes in mine! Gotta change my ram too.. Its the old ddr low mhz stuff lol as you can tell, im not too clued up.

Thanks for the first hand info - I wasnt sure whether to get 2 gig straight off on my new PC, but this makes the rationalisation I have been telling myself all better now
Im on XP and 512mb RAM and everytime the paging file is used - I just have to reboot, everything becomes too slow. I'm pretty sure I have lowered the life expectancy of my WD250

I think BF2 wants 1.5Gb RAM. It definitely shows performance gains in play - less chugging and you can run higher graphics settings.

2Gb does make a difference, particularly if you use memory hungry apps, heavy multitasking or running Virtual Machines. For most users, 1Gb is sufficient.

2 gig is nice...but going from 1gig to 2 gig was not such a leap in performance as going from 512 to 1 gig.
