Memory over utilisation point?
I know that this will have probably been asked a fair bit before, But I wanted to ask indefinatley and ask if there are any other circumstances to consider...
I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit, with 6gb of memory, 4gb of Patriot extreme + 2gb of OCZ Titanium (from an older build) all DDR2 800, system is running perfect, really can't argue with gaming/photo editing anything I throw at my PC is a joy; However I also have 2 other PC's one a spare modding PC and one a media PC. The media PC has 2x1gb and is running vista also, the modding PC is running 4x512mb on Windows XP, all DDR2 800 Now I know that Vista only utilises 4gb of memory and XP 3.5gb, So my question in a long winded way is: Will taking out 2gb of the OCZ ram from my main PC make any difference? Is there anyway that vista/any other applications like photoshop, games ETC be able to use that 2gb of RAM or will it simply have no idea that it's there? If the answer is that it will make no use whatsoever then I can put the 2gb in my modding PC and run it with 3gb and have it running as good as can be.
