I guess. All I really care about is that Vista essentially requires double the amount of memory for no noticeable gains in games.
Yeah, since 2gb of ram extra costs less than a 6-pack these days, that's really terrible and a super valid point.
And it does't double it. It reports memory differently. By precaching the fuck out of things, it is just stuffed into memory where it will stay untill it has to move out.. This makes it
seem like the OS is using more RAM than it really is. The argument is that data just used is probably going to be used again, so lets make all that free ram more useful.
Edit: Oh, and HORRAY§!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for mafia 2, can't wait!
By the way, I have a c2d, 280 gtx and XP, so start flaming me! (but that's only because my win7 install decided my copy was pirated even though it was from MSDN so it wouldn't work anymore).
