planetside runs great with 1gb I have heard you dont need more than a gig but that was 2 years ago, and some of the new things on the horizon might run better with 2gigs if you can afford it. I have 1gb ram but an older card |

I recently upgraded my PC, and part of that upgrade was going from 1gb to 2gb of RAM. PS does in fact run smoother w/ 2gb of ram. I notice a difference. I also upgraded my video card to a 7800 GT, which also helps A LOT.

Well... I'd go with an AMD A64 for sure. Your choice if you want an X2 (dual core) or a single core flavour. THe sweet spot for the price seems to be around A64 3700+ or dual core the X2 4000+. ------------- |
