Personally, I'd rather have ram in my hands the second I buy it then wait a few weeks for their slow UPS manwhores to deliver it.

But thats me.

Reminds me though, I have to send in the rebate things.

RAM - volatile memory. Kinda like disk storage (ie. hard drive), except for two vital differences:

  • RAM is unstable, if it loses power it loses all data stored there.

  • RAM is much. much. much faster. I'm talking thousands of times faster.

    Whenever you run a program, the executable is copied from your hard drive to your RAM so it can be executed using the hyper-fast speed of the RAM.

    So it stands to reason that if you have more RAM you can simultaniously run more stuff at these hyper fast speeds.

    RAM pertains to EQ in that EQ stores all the textures it's gonna be using in RAM, so you need enough to fit all of 'em.
