How much RAM does your computer have? Just out of curiosity.

My main system has 512mb PC-133 SDRAM, that's maximum for this motherboard.

EDIT: I meant to make it a checkbox poll, but ah well. :undecide:

Looking at it again, this poll sucks. Ignore the stupid options, vote for one of the two that applies to you.

Both our computers have 384 MB, but we will upgrade to 512 MB soon, which is the maximum for both motherboards.

256mb here...
My motherboard can support up to 1.5 GB ram, but thats SDRAM and im not going to get anymore for it.
When i upgrade i'm going to get 1GB module in either DDR 400 or DDR2(533mhz/667 Mhz), probably around Xmas.

256 DDR 266 for now. My board allows up to 3 gig though.

The maximum for my mb is either 2 gigs or 4 gigs, but I have 768megs loaded currently.

256 in both comp... Hoping to find a deal for some more Sd-ram to bring at least one to 512... Max is 1 GB IIRC though :smug:

512 Mb DDR SDRAM. Just up 216Mb recently - the price is so low. :D

My MB can support more, but I don't really need anymore. 'Sides, used up my two slots.

My current PC has 512 MB, but I'll get a new one in july and I'll buy at least 1 gig, maybe even 1.5, depending on the price.

256 MB here, whch is pretty much a minimum for comfort on XP. Especially when you have a PII350 :yeah:

760Mb+ . When I upgraded my wifes machine, I just moved all the old memory into my machine.

Lots of memory, not much speed. (700Mhz Pent III)

A bit like me really. :rolleyes:

1 GB on my Desktop machine (I think that's also the limit for my board)

512 MB on my Laptop

2x 512MB = 1024MB Dual Channel DDR333 SDRAM CL2.

When I rebuilt my system this winter, I went to 512MB DDR. Not fantastic, but it's better than the 384 I used to have. ;)

128Mb! Not bad, adequate for my uses. I have a 400Mhz PII too.

The one I'm currently is using has 512MB, our laptop I don't know (probably 256MB) and the old computer has 128MB.

512 Mb, so I voted for 512-1024. :D

CivIII runs pretty well when you have 1GB of RAM...

Got 384 at work, on a 1.7gig P4.

Got 256 at home, on a 850mhz Athalon. I was running 192, but burnt out one of my memory slots trying to upgrade it. :cry: But I was able to upgrade it to 256.

My next machine, which I will be buying in the fall, thanks to grants/student loans, will probably hvae 764. It'll come with 256, and I plan to drop a half-gig stick into it. That should do me, for now.

Finally upgraded my PC. I always thought I had a PII 500 MHz until I recently checked and it turned out I have a Celeron 433 MHz. :lol:
I had always wondered why it said Celeron on the case of my PC instead of Pentium. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I had 64 Mb of RAM but 10 minutes ago I added 128 to obtain the grand total of 192 Mb PC-100.
So I'm just checking out how bloody fast it is now. [dance]

512MB of PC3200 DDR Ram. My mobo can support 3GB of PC2700 and under or 2GB of PC3200.

512 Mb DDR SDRAM

!?!?! SD is Single data rate, yet it is Double Data Rate at the same time?

Anyhoo i have 512 Mb RAM :)

512MB DDR here as well. Only temporary mind you. I'm going to add a little more in a few months, bringing it up to an even Gig.

Hmm... I have a 128, a 64 and a 16 - and 2 machines (one is a spare).

So I guess 192 is what I mainly use - Civ doesn't like me running with 128, a big map and 15 opponents.

256 MB.

I had 128 MB in the one that my dad bought me (128! :eek: ) so we went out to Best Buy and bought a 128 MB extention.

512 MegaByte DoubleDataRate SynchronousDynamicRandomAccessMemory :mischief:

RAM is just the common acronomy of all read/write memory
Before we had SDRAM, most PCs used EDO-RAM (ExtendedDataOutput) and other types before that. The correct acronym for SingleDataRate RAM would be nowadays: SDR SDRAM

EDO-RAM type memory started with the advance of the late 486s and the first Pentium computers, SDRAM took over as the clock speed increased even more.

Synchronous because the RAM is optimized to run with the same external clock the CPU uses. Thatīs why for example a DDR 333 memory chip runs much better with a CPU using 166MHz external clock (DDR=x2 -> 166x2=333) than an older model using only 133MHz.
:D
