Do you actually need 4GB? This. I seriously need RAM for my Compaq. I have no idea how Vista can run on 512MB without imploding. |

I've ordered.
I'm getting 6 GB of RAM, and downloading Vista x64.

Vista actually moves along on the OptiPlex with 512 MB of RAM and a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4. It's not impressive, but it's not bad. That said, 2 GB is generally considered the ideal amount for SuperFetch and other Vista technologies to work to their full effect, although increments up to 8 GB have shown further improvement.
Realistically though, you typically won't use more than 2 GB unless you're working with video, special effects or HDR 5D Mark II imagery.

Even Crysis doesn't demand 6 GB.
Now, if you wanted to play two instances of it at the same time...

64-bit drivers still absorb cock though, don't they?
