My coworkers were talking about how their computers load up in like just a couple of seconds and one said they had 4 Gb of RAM but then upgraded to 6Gb of RAM ON HIS BLOODY LAPTOP!
I was like, "Boy you better slow down therr, you only need like 2!" Because all I hear on the forums and everywhere else is that having any more than 2 Gb of RAM will actually slow down your computer or something.
But then the other guy said he has 8 Gb of RAM on his computer that he uses as a server for online games like WoW and Ragnarok. I was like, "OMGWTF stop 8 gigs of RAM? What!? 8 gigs of RAM? I can't even count that high. 8?"
All you smart people, please help me to understand... why did you all say that having more than 2 gigs of RAM is useless or that it reduces performance? Is it even possible to fit 6 or 8 gigs of RAM on a motherboard?
Please note: I have never built my own computer but plan to when Windows Vista and the DirectX10 video cards come out next year. Up until now my family has been using crappy Dell computers that can only play Warcraft 3 on the lowest settings.
