ram is pretty easy to buy more the merrier. but yeah your pc sucks

also i learnt the other day that i think on windows vista and maybe windows 7 that you can turn USB drives into RAM. ?
Found the link. not sure if it will speed up your computer or anything but just thought it was interesting.

@OnkelSam: If not Ram then what ?
@ cr4wler, MVgame: yeah its old PC I build it pretty long ago, and I wish I could build new PC but currently I just don't have that much free money..

its not cheap you know to build good PC..

Judging from the mainboard chipset i guess you're running some old core2duo and something like 8800GT (nvidia) or HD3870 (ATI) as your graphics card...

4GB RAM is plenty for an old PC like yours. You probably won't run much faster, because your CPU and GPU are slowing things down anyway. It's not worth to upgrade single elements of such a system anymore. Rather save up some more money and wait a few month more to get a new one.

my CPU is Q6600 and GPU is ATI HD 4870 1 GB vRAM

that's comparable to what i expected... Someone correct me, if i am wrong, but i don't think more RAM will significantly enhance your system.

"sadface" Thats makes me sad...
Like I can run games on mid settings fine I think but then I try to stream it starts to lag as hell..
I looked at the task manager and saw that I use almost all of my 4gigs of ram so I thought perhaps I should add more..

No, throwing RAM at it wont help you unless you do something that really uses it.

I want to stream in HD.. but I guess my PC can't handle it.. even wich CoH... then there is not hope at all to stream coh2 later on..

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
