About to go shower.

Wow; that was a big snot bomb...

Absolutely nothing.

That example I think is more grey. I see Obamacare as both helpful AND harmful to people, depending on what bracket a person is in. What I see as clear-cut evil is our system that rewards health insurance companies for denying coverage to people that need it at the same time they take in massive profits. That's literally profiting on the misery and death of people who need their help. Collectively, they spent about 500 million on lobbying in 2012. With Obamacare, Obama clearly compromised heavily with these forces, so that makes him "not good" at least. As for him being evil, his actions seem to deviate from what he says a lot. I can't really say if he's evil or not, his intentions seem totally unclear to me. I mostly see him as a conduit for larger forces at work.

Might want to look at the rest of the stuff he lies about...

There are more, but I don't want to get too off topic...

Yes, amount of RAM really never needs to go over 8GB unless you're doing a lot of high-RAM programs, debugging something (because everything needs to be loaded into the RAM), or doing high-end video editing. 1600MHz is a good high end for most people, though I personally have seen as much as 5FPS difference by going from 1600 to 2400 in an otherwise unchanged desktop system. (56 FPS to 61 FPS average in a Far Cry 3 Benchmark)

As for the benchmarking Ross found... That was with older games that were designed for systems with 4GB RAM max, and their 'high-rez' textures showed it. Modern games are loading as much as 2.5GB of textures in mid-high settings... (if you use high-rez textures, some are addon packs, some are just enabled in the settings) And if you don't have the VRAM to handle it, it loads the textures into the shared system RAM, (DirectX automatically does it, mine doubles the actual VRAM of my GPU to 4GB) and THAT is when you notice the RAM speed. (not really before) So if you're not planning on using high-rez, or high settings games, the RAM will not be the biggest slowdown.

RC Cola.

Ok, good. I do recommend buying it for those that are interested, I just need to wait and see before I dedicate money I don't have to it.

If it's green, a smiley...

I've been doing computer hardware for over 18 years, I think I probly know a lot about hardware... You are entitled to believe what you want, I'm just providing suggestions.

If your motherboard is one of the ones that doesn't have a dedicated controller, then yes, the CPU needs upgrading first. My suggestion was based on my experience of there being a memory controller on the moboard more often than not when someone is looking at upgrading something that runs AM2 chips.

If your motherboard has a dedicated memory controller (which many do) then the CPU integrated controller isn't the limiting factor. RAM speeds affect a lot more than you're portraying... Unless you're using lower settings, it significantly affects rendering speeds (up to 15 FPS) due to the system having to load textures into the system RAM instead of the much faster GPU RAM. (with only 1GB GPU RAM, it would likely do so at medium settings on most new games)

Manufacturing tech size really only affects the heat generation, and power consumption... Additional cores and higher speeds aren't reliant on the size.

The reason we don't have DDR4/5 system RAM is because it costs so damn much to make... Last I checked they were planning on rolling out DDR4 RAM, but it would cost ~$1000 USD for 8GB at 3000+MHz, and current DDR3 at the same speed is only around $550.

As I already said, it's always going to be up to you... Whatever you want to upgrade is your choice... It's not like someone's holding a gun to your head and telling you to follow my advice.

Yup, still listening to the same Trance station... http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=707146 (it's British, and it had live mixes all last night)

I run it through MPC-HC and AC3Filter... (K-Lite codec pack) Cranked up the bass on the AC3Filter equalizer, resampled to 192k, using 32-bit float format, and one-pass normalization... Best way to listen to radio IMO.

I do have the pirated version, and it works perfectly for me. Do you still need a copy?

The CPU shouldn't affect the system RAM capabilities... I'd say upgrading your RAM would have a far more significant performance impact than a new CPU, but it's up to you.

Titles, yes. Rep, no... Unless it comes back with me having at least -500.

Banned because even math uses spaces.

Your system RAM is going to be the slowdown on your system... DDR2 is SLOW. Other than that, you have a very decent rig... Too bad you aren't visiting the USA anytime soon, you could upgrade the entire system (except the video) to beat your current setup, and it'd only cost $420.

Won't lie, i was hoping people would vote for another game dungeon, but i guess the thirst for freeman can't be quenched

Or for the world having ended at a previous date...

I think I'm listening to a Trance station I got from Shoutcast, but I'm not really sure... I've been going through and listening for anything that sounded good, and had a bitrate higher than 192K.

A group of Knights that frequent a pup called "The Old Republic", and get quests there.

Go to bathroom...

True story... Some guy decided to cut up a deer in a rest area bathroom once, I was the next guy to go in there.

Banned for thinking I do anything like "not=8" or any other drug.

Ah... Nice area down there if it hasn't changed significantly since I went through there last.

Relaxing after a long day of physical labor... I'm running on a total of 8 hours of sleep over the past 4 days.
