Windows 7 Drives RAM Capacity Explosion; Vista SP2 Usage Rising | |
|
||
| Time: 15:24 EST/20:24 GMT | News Source: CIO | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||
|
Windows 7 will drive the average PC RAM capacity to 4GB in the next 18 months. That's the conclusion of researchers at the exo.performance.network who are monitoring the ramp-up to Windows 7's launch on October 22. After evaluating data collected from early adopters of the Windows 7 RTM code spread across several hundred IT sites, the xpnet.com team observed that nearly 50 percent sported memory capacities of 4GB or higher, with some reaching as high as 12GB. | ||

| Sorry, that headline isn't sensationalist enough. Computerworld would write it "Windows 7 Won't Run Without 4 GB RAM, IT Pros Say." Or worse. |

"While much has been made about Windows 7's supposedly reduced memory footprint, the reality is that a combination of Moore's Law (as it applies to RAM density) and the harsh lessons of the Vista debacle are prompting customers to err on the side of caution and equip Windows 7 PCs with ample RAM out of the gate."
Hmmm... ever thought it could just be the natural progression of more RAM in newer computers that has been continuing for... pretty much since the dawn of the computing age??? Nah... couldn't be that. |

RAM is cheap... Windows 7 is not.
Get a free copy of Windows 7 and use the money you would have spent on upgrading your RAM! :) |

| I installed 9GB so I won't have to worry about this nonsense for a few years :) |

| #4, TL, did you install 3 x 3GB modules in DD3 three channel? @ what MHz? (assuming you are running an i7 based system - based upon your MB, which I recall is an X58 based board) |
| #6 By 17855 (205.167.180.132) at 9/24/2009 2:16:03 PM |
| Actually that would be 3 x 2GB and 3 x 1GB sticks. Very Nice! |

#6, it could be, but in that config they would not be capable of the full potential available.
In that board, 3 x 2 GB, or 6 x 2 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 modules would be ideal and in the case of 12 GB configs, run at 1.60v vice 1.65v Hence why I asked if TL used 3 x 3 GB DDR3 in three channel mode at 1600MHz, or higher. |

#6 got it.
When I set the system up, it was originially a gaming-only system. The cost of the new P6T Deluxe Board, i920, HD4870 card and PCP&C Silencer 1000 really ate into the kitty, and the 1GB triple-module set was on sale, so that's what I started with, and it was fine. Then my WHS Server MB finally died after like 8 years (an old ABIT IT7-Max2 that served as a Server 200 Machine, Server 2003 Machine, then WHS Server Machine for years). I took my then-current Intel BadAxe-2/E6700 based Main Desktop and turned it into the replacement server, and turned the i920 system into dual-purpose using dual-boot to a pair of Velociraptors. Since I needed more RAM at that point, I picked up a set of matching, but larger, triple 2-GB modules. All are the Corsair XMS modules made for i920 triple-module systems. I hated giving up my dedicated gaming machine, but I now have a killer desktop, and one hell of a WHS server to boot :) |

BTW... I was surprised when I installed my purchased OEM copy of WHS Server on the new server (new MB, RAM, Video Card, NIC as well as six new 1TB WD Green Drives) and the OEM copy installed on the new server and activated with NO complaints. I didn't even have to call Microsoft.
I was fully expecting to have to use up my TechNet license, but didn't have to. |
