Star Wars: Galaxies and RAM

[spydar]

has anyone out there played this incredibly addictive game??? My brother has it (on my computer) and it is so much fun! however, I've heard that it, being a pretty intense online game, would run better with more RAM. anyone have a suggestion about a decent amount? for I am aware that there really is no such thing as too much RAM, it's like having too much money or being too happy. sillyness [img]smile.gif[/img]

Minimum requirements are 256 MB, so if you want the game to run smoothly, make sure you have 512 MB (no joke).

Anyway, for detailed specifications, go here.

thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

I can't believe my computer is barely a year old and I"m already looking to modify it. I don't know what to think about that.

That's because the virtual world is turning faster than the real one. If you want a state of the art PC, and you want it to stay that way, you'll need to upgrade it several times a year.

Sorry to derail the thread a little, but sticks of RAM are cheap, right? How much would a stick of 256 RAM cost, for example? (Preferably in £). Thanks.

On the topic of Galaxies, the only problem I have with the game is that it ain't out in the UK until December (argh! - but you can get US import. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and you HAVE to have a valid credit card number. That really spoiled it for me, cos my parents refuse to pay for a monthly charged online game as they don't trust anything like that. I'm gonna have to wait another 2 years to play it! Grrr...

Slicer the game can be played with a debit card also. Thats what I use for an online game I play.

Depends what you're looking for. There's SD RAM, DDR, and RIM. I use DDR myself, and in Euro's, a chip of 256 MB would be somewhat 35 or 40. It's not all that expensive anymore.

for me to play glaxies on my comp i had to get a new video card and upgrade the ram on it and its about 6 months old and its a damn alienworks

I might get my video card looked at but what I really want is crapload more ram.

and it'll take debit cards?? if so, that would rock! cause even though it's only $10 (or so) I really don't like the idea of owing my parents money. they're already paying my tuition, I'd hate to ask for more.
