HUGE RAM

[N!ck]

DDR is the slowest

Nah there's older ones that are slower. I'm on a PC with SD-RAM right now which is the one before DDR.

Well, Basically what i need is a PC that can handle games & HD video editing no problem. Any recommendations?

[Axel]

That's a pretty huge one.

















Just get 16.

4GB RAM then. 8GB if you're buying expensive RAM to go in an expensive motherboard.

What and put 16 to 32 GB of RAM inside it?

The Mac Pro has a maximum of 32GB ram.

Windows xp only registers 3gb of ram no matter what

Lol ok. Get an x64 version running and i think it'll be a different story. Also, have an integrated graphics card on an x86 and you'll be able to use 4GB. Apparantly there's also a way to make the 32-bit emulate a 36-bit meaning 64GB RAM on a 32-bit.

32GB Will not slow down your server, it will just choke your wallet for about $5000 USD

Go for 16GB and save 3000.

[Stephen!]

Actually it would cost only $1200 for 32GB.

Ummm. No, your wrong. It costs atleast $400 for one 4GB stick.

Unless you think that an 8-core can hold 16 sticks? That would be really embarassing.

Edit: If your multitasking especially rendering videos/graphics, 16GB is baseline for extreme tasks.

DDR-DDR3 makes a big difference; DDR2-3 does not.

I suggest x8 2GB sticks depending on your uses.
