The Tech Zone heeft een artikeltje gepost waarin ze het performance verschil tussen 128 en 256Mb RAM bespreken. Als benchmarks gebruiken ze Quake, Unreal en 3DMark99. Persoonlijk lijkt het me nogal onzinnig om te upgraden van 128 naar 256Mb puur voor extra game performance. De benchmarks onderschrijven dit ook (maar liefst .3fps extra in Unreal ):
As you can see, the scores are pretty much a wash. Adding another 128 megs of RAM to the computer made for almost zero gain, unless you can see the difference between less than one frame per second. Of course this was just a testing for game performance and nothing else. Having 256 megs of RAM did help PhotoShop when working with very large (and I mean VERY large) image files.Given the results I got, I don't really see a reason to get 256 megs of RAM over 128 megs if games are what you will run. If you're a graphic professional who works with large PhotoShop file you'll see a benefit going from 128 to 256 megs of RAM.
