It's a family computer though and because we don't have a TV, well, everyone's watching movies on it so...

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

I was thinking about upgrading my PC a bit, since RAM goes cheap these days.
I still have my old PC:

OS: Windows
OS Version: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Hard Drive Space:  500 GB
RAM: 4GB
Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Graphics Card: GeForce GTS 450

So what do you guys think?
I still have room for another 4GB. Would that make any difference, especially in gaming?

Windows 7 system rates it this way:
- processor speed and RAM with 7.1
- graphics 6.9
- Hard disk 5.9.

More RAM is always good, I have 8GB. Can't really do anything about the hard disk rating.

Mine is rated thus:
processor/RAM 7.5
graphics 7.4
hd 5.9

Silver Wolf

I know. I'm not concerned about HD.
I just posted it because it was there and I wanted the list to be complete.

I agree. More RAM is always good, but what I need is a significant difference.
I'd rather save the money for something else if that difference is minimal.

Quite impressed my comp can still handle most modern games despite being about 5 years old now. Not on max settings any more, but still pretty. :)

Mine can't even run some of the older ones.  :'(

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking about a week ago and I came to a conclusion that the hardware requirements bar wasn't raised much in the last few years. For example, a few years ago when oblivion came out, my old computer was barely able to run it and it was lagging like crazy. I had to buy a new computer to play it on medium requirements.

Next gen games are starting to come out, most computers wont be able to handle them on ultra. In fact even if i wanted to i'd have to buy a new graphics card/s.

I recommend upgrading your GPU sometime soon, the GTS 450 is kinda old now, and is really low end. and after that, your CPU and motherboard

Then start worrying about RAM

Tanks for advice. :D

Unfortunately, I'm broke right now so I probably won't be updating anything in the near future... :/

Not too bad for a laptop. I have yet to actually develop a really nice desktop PC.

Looks like you're in a similar boat to me Kyzaca

And I'm still in my own boat. :)
