GrindedStone Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was creating textures an yeah I almost ran out of ram. I have 8Gb an it was using 7Gb, with no page file. Laughing! Hah HAH ha ha. Well I always knew it would happen. Windows 7 is such a crybaby I had a whole 1Gb left. Funny though, an yes I was doing something I shouldn't have been doing, but it's a world map an those can take up some space. Anyway I hope the rest of you modders get flat tires on your cars an think of me, because I'll be making a funny face at you :/ because your so mean to me all teh time omg... :D Well there is your reason for setting up a ram disc cache with 16-32 Gb instead of just 8Gb. It's like they said only in some extreme cases do you even need it. Also it was DDR3 1333 which it was kind of laggy around 7Gb a real disapointment. You can't get much faster I don't think for the money an it was tightly timed an limited to the 1333 speed to stay within the CPU's factory spec because I'll use this rig for another 6-7 years at least. It would have been a significant investment and also risk to go with overclocked, but it turns out it would be worth it for the content creation purposes. Though time would tell which lasted longer so who's to say. I built this rig by hand, so I would say if I did I would save up a little more an go with an overclock instead of underclocked or factory spec, but you built up to that OC slowly I'm thinking.
