Good Upgrade News
After Encounters froze on me for the 4th time the other night I got to thinking about possibly having to upgrade my PC for Legacy; the merits and relative costs of RAM, Video Cards, CPUs, and entire machines. Having had ample opportunity to get a feel for the current video card market during my Tactical Assault hunts RAM was definitely looking like the ideal solution for possible problems.
The thing is the technical information that came with my latest PC was very lacking and I didn’t know some critical things about my RAM and motherboard like what MHz it operates at or the maximum capacity per slot. Around 4am I stumbled across crucial.com which ever so thankfully had a utility to scan your motherboard and RAM, and of course try to sell you an upgrade.
So future Legacy players, if the minimum 512MB RAM system requirement has you concerned (or Windows Vista’s 1 GB requirement) I highly recommend this site to shed some light. For example my options for upgrading are 256 MB for $40, 512 MB for $70, or 1 GB for $140. While I like to be frugal if all I have to upgrade is RAM I’ll probably go for the gig out of relief and so I shant need another upgrade for hopefully quite some time thereafter.
