Hi all,

We have just published a feature asking Is More Memory Better? If you
could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*Quote: *For your working or recreational desktop environment, there's
no definitive answer: it's all about /how/ you use your system. More
memory doesn't affect boot times in the right way, however having more
things pre-cached should lead to a faster Windows experience once you
sit down to work or play.

However task switching out of games, load times of save games, and even
in-game itself - 4GB or more of memory makes the experience faster and
smoother. We've got upcoming triple-A titles like /FarCry 2, Stalker:
Clear Sky/ or /Crysis: Warhead/, which will be at least no less
intensive than what is currently available, so it's absolutely worth
doubling up over 2GB if you're a keen member of the PC gaming master
race. For a few less intensive titles like /Call of Duty 4/, it doesn't
make a blind bit of difference between 2GB and 4GB of memory. Consider
what you play before you dive into your next purchase.

*Cheers guys!
