Dat technical side of OSes that no one really knows about. |
You do realize that, indie games aside, nobody in their right mind would embed all resources in a single executable, 32 bit or otherwise, right?

You do realize highest end gaming PC have 64GB of RAM? Just because you can doesn't mean you shouldn't.
Point is games do require a lot of memory now a days.

Lmao name ONE game that uses 4GB of RAM entirely. |
BF3 eats 4gb ram easily and can use 1.5 - 2gb Vram in seconds. It takes a minimum of 8gb ram or your game loads slower than shit.
New patch is decent but now me and many get randomly disconnected with the error "something went wrong". Oh god EA is enduring such a shitstorm its funny. |
The only reason the kid is saying LOOLLL don't need 4gb or more is because all games use 32bit executables and can't page more than 3.5gb of physical memory from RAM.
But the funny part is he probably doesn't know shit about that. |
Who the fuck are you and why are you trying to pretend that you have any idea about anything I'm thinking or saying?

But am I wrong that you had no idea that 32bit programs are limited to 3.0GB of ram?

@OP: since this thread was bumped and it's just turning into an argument, make a new thread if you still want help with a build.
