Looking to build a new PC

[Bobert93]

yer well my vista is usung 1.2 mb ram just on the internet and im sure that crysis would use more then 800mb ram ,
so to be safe go with 4gb xms2 ram

The reason Vista is using all that RAM just idling Cryman is because, unlike XP, Vista manages the memory better and assigns it to things that it thinks you will open next etc. XP doesn't do much with all the spare RAM. When you play Crysis. It will stop assigning it for opening apps faster, disable aero and concentrate on on the game.
