cooper Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 :shock: :? So are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? Agreeing, but wondering how long that will last. Wasn't the last version of UT optimized for the 64-bit AMD stuff? Maybe the 64-bit OS isn't a real requirement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Anything over 2-4GB slows games down. Wasn't that only true for Intel boxes because they, being 32-bit, can only address at most 4 gigs directly, and need to use tricks (which will obviously take longer) to go beyond that. A 64-bit machine should be able to cope without any ill effects. Question is, how many people run 64-bit games on a 64-bit OS to not get bitten by this...? :shock: :? So are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? It’s also runs solid works and a few in-house applications that can utilise that much ram, if I was just using it for gaming I would have only used 2GB as any thing over that is just over kill.

Hmm I was thinking the same thing only... 2^32=4294967296bits 4294967296bits/8=536870912Bytes 536870912Bytes/1024=524288kBytes 524288kBytes/1024=512MBytes So 32bit systems could only have 512MBytes of RAM? And 64bit systems could have 2147483648 GIGA BYTES OF RAM???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 You address _bytes_ of memory, not bits. So 32-bit systems can address 4294967296 bytes = 4194304 kbytes = 4096 mbytes = 4 gbytes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The use of 32 BITS means you can make any digit between 0 and 4294967296. When you use it as a memory address, it means that the 32-bit value of 0 points at the first BYTE of memory. The 32-bit value of 894652 points at byte 894652 in the memory. Do some research before trying to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armadaender Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Computer 1 -- 16 gigs - upgradable to 20gigs Jesus.... what kind of board is that and what do you use that box for to need that much ram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolations2525 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Well, the computer that I have the 16gigs of ram in, is really nothing but a play toy, it took me a long time to put the money into it, but it was worth the wait. Total cost, $2,567.90 - custom built desktop/server They all are windows xp home and pro based computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I would love to have that much ram for my boxs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
