Laptop + More RAM= Worth it?

[Rypley]

Hello, after my miserable problem with my shitcard-Ahem-G41, I found that my crappy laptop can run this game without any problem of graphics, But, It only has 1gb of ram, I’m planning to buy 2gb more, That’s all i can afford, so it will be 3gb of ram…
What you guys recommend me?

It’s a good investment. More RAM, better performance though it’s still not enough.

Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.

Are you shore the Laptop only has 1GB of RAM, I find that hard to believe. How did you establish that as a fact ??

Does it date back to 2005 or earlier.

Download the Zip, run the exe, it will confirm your specs,

Youll be able to confirm how much you have now, and depending on your laptop if you even have an additional slot available

What is your current RAM usage? I doubt more RAM would help. With how things are in your country, maybe saving up for a GPU would be the wisest way to spend your money.

i saw my ram, By disarming the laptop, it displayed 1gb ddr2, And shadow, the laptop is from 2004 xD, still good enough for sims tho, and 2gb it’s all that i can afford, maybe i can with 4gb if i sell a few thing, hehehe

Remember unless you are using a 64bit operating system more than 4GB RAM is a waste of money as your OS can’t use it.

Two Gig will help, and that poor Hard Drive might last a bit longer also.

Tiffy, In fact my OS is 64 bit, (Thanks god?) so i wouldn’t a waste of money, considering that i’m choosing the cheapest one, Kingston cost a mid million each one…

What processor is fitted?

i dindn’t understand you, if you mean what is, is an AMD thing with 2.10 ghz clock speed. if is not that what you mean tell me

I’m not going to preach or talk down, but EVERYONE HERE should look into the older budget GeForce onboard ddr5 cards from 2012-15 . They aren’t good for bit mining and they have ddr5 on board. I got 2 640s, the big ones the se or ti whatever they are called for a c note. Those dominate basically all dx10/11 games - I put one in an i7 and one in a phenomiix42010. They both crank.

Don’t get me wrong I have the 1050 and the status quo too, but you just have to think critically. In my mind the biggest deal right now is making sure all your hardware including ram drive and optics, mobo and OS is harmonized and up to date.

I feel like vista and 7 caused so many hardware problems and defects people and the industry are still somewhat normalizing.

An optimized system is the best option. Or as u called it harmonized.
Some hear about the new 1xxx Nvidia cards and run to buy one and see minimal to none improvement.
An old good VGA might have a better bw than a new 1050 for example.
Running some comparisons in GBU boss u can see the small details that make the difference. Also it’s important what you have already and where are you going to display it, 1 monitor, 2 monitors, 3 monitors… etc.
But in this case things are different. Good luck with your setup but I don’t think going to 3gb of RAM will save you.
Yeap hard I know but I would think it twice specially that the money factor is so important.
With 3 GB I don’t think campaigns will work.
If the system will use the HDD for ram the delays will be that much that you will probably have CTD’s.
Having all gfx settings to minimum u believe it’s obvious, and you will be left with TE’s which is not bad at all and a straggling working like crazy HDD.
Since it’s a laptop, if I understood correctly, be careful with overall temperature. I believe it will be better having a laptop but not extensive falcon use than a burned laptop that will cost you a fortune to fix or even buy a new one.

Please give us the exact brand and exact type of laptop you have. Download CPU-Z and tell us what it says under CPU and RAM.

Are you sure you are not confusing RAM dedicated to the onboard video card with the overall RAM of your laptop? There’s no way a laptop with 1 GB of RAM would run BMS 4.33.3. It just doesn’t.

[Guest]

Please remember guys that the OP lives in Venezuela and the country’s economy would explain his system specs

[Rypley]

Well the 1gb ram is NOT video ram… Cause i got a radeon hd 3200 as video card, Wich i didn’t knew that i has, the video ram is 512mb, So, Its actually 1gb of ram…
How it could run BMS that’s a mistery for me, Maybe because i got everything on low, And i Still having low FPS Issues, So, If everyone thinks that i can play the game smooth with only 1 gb, Then you’re wrong…
