I just upgraded my system from 1GB to 2GB of DDR2 so I can get my occasional |
| 9 |
BF2 fix in Vista, and I honestly have noticed no difference in speed while |
| 10 |
using Gentoo, which is by far my primary OS. I'm sure a detailed analysis |
| 11 |
would show at least slight improvement in some cases, but it probably isn't |
| 12 |
worth the upgrade. That said, 1GB of DDR2 can be had for under ~50USD |
| 13 |
depending on what speed and latency you desire. |
