Hello everyone,
As 90% of the articles regarding this question out there date to 2005, I figured I'd ask you guys for some up-to-date information.
I have a sweet dual core machine with 8GB of ram, and SLIed graphic cards. I have noticed a HUMONGOUS increase when going from 4GB to 8GB in Fallout3 awhile back; although Vista recognizes the machine has 8GB, I am aware it should only be using 3GB ram/1GB video ram. Regardless, I did get a sweet performance increase. The only problem I ever had was PhysX in Mirror's edge-- and let's face it, that's a bit of moot point considering it's PhysX (I haven't checked since Feb to see if this changed).
With that said, would the performance increase in 64-bit vista be totally worth it? Or, is it really negligible at this point?
Thank you for your time, guys.
