if your boxing whole groups on one PC ... how much RAM are you rolling with

[Sam DeathWalker]

kinda what i was thinking ... ive only saw 1.9 on very rare occasions 1.3-1.5 is the norm which is why i said mostly would just be around 9 gigs of ram running 6 instances ... i guess ill give up the pretty led lights heh to be safe and future proff for awhile

is there really any advantage to buying the matched 24 gig sets or can i open my options up to two 12 gig 3 x 4 sets as well ?

I'm really doubting that its more then 600K per client, I mean what is actually being stored in all that ram? Be nice if it was textures but I really doubt they gonna set aside 1.5G per client just for textures even if you have it. BUT post on the LotR official tech forum and ask them, if they say you get better performace if you have the full 2G per client then ya 24G is what you want.

Otherwise I would think 12G is sufficient.

im gonna go with 12 gigs to start to see if OS and all the clients play nice at 12 before i spend more for 24

not sure what it is about lotro but textures are indeed very nice eye candy at full settings /shrug but i never remember seeing it below 1 gig for an instance /... albeit i dont look much

Might consider 3 X 4G chips so you can use them if you change your mind and want 24 down the road.

i did consider them but ... crcial only makes tracers with the blue leds in 3 x 2 but the 6 stix will look good in my new case that i painted high gloss racing blue with the window and all i need to bling it heh
