What is better for gaming: 1 gig of RAM DDR400 or 2 gigs DDR333?

I just bought my first AMD box. AMD 64 3500+ Venice, nForce 4 Ultra.
I have 2 gigs of RAM laying around. With 2 gigs of RAM in my computer it only runs at DDR333, whereas with 1 gig I can run it at DDR400. I know I could benchmark all this stuff, but I was wondering if anyone had any longer-term real world experience with 1 gig vs. 2 gigs of RAM.
So...1 gig at DDR400 2-3-3-6 1T or 2 gigs 2.5-4-4-7 2T? I mostly use my computer for gaming.
(Disregard my sig now that I've got my new AMD box )

Coelacanth- Congrats on the new box. Sometimes it pays to do a search to see whether your question has been discussed recently. This one has been covered I believe in the above thread and others.
Thanks! Sorry yea not searching is pretty n00by. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Which Imac would be better for gaming?

So i've got a choice between these two models -
£1329.60
3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
8gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1GB GDDR5
Apple care
27 inch model
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory
Apple care
£1407.60
Basically, the decision is down to, do I want a slightly better graphics card and bigger screen, or a smaller screen and better processer?
I just want to gauge opinions, i'll be using it as my day to day computer as well, some video editing, but nothing too strenuous. How big is the difference in graphic and processing powers.
Thanks for your help

With all due respect the question was "which iMac would be better for gaming?". Key word here is 'better', not 'perfect', not 'ideal'; just 'better'. Unqualified answers and/or sweeping statements do very little to contribute to a discussion, let alone answer the question under consideration.

Which is better for gaming and why?

Hi,
I was researching budget gaming laptops(around $1000, INR 55000) and came up with two choices.....
1)HP Pavilion g6z-1d00 Notebook PC
http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/A2B39AV?HP-Pavilion-g6z-1d0...
2)HP Envy 14-2130nr Notebook PC
http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/QE295UA?HP-ENVY-14-2130nr-Noteb...
Could anybody please tell me which is better for gaming (main purpose and best performance)?
The HP Envy looks great but I don't know much about AMD Quad Core.....
Also, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on the HP Envy ( AMD Radeon 6630 to a better one) via a HP centre?
It seems to run most games quite well, but I need it to be able to play new games for at least 4 years more (college), while not factoring in the costs for any possible graphics card upgrade....
Please help!!

Thanks Huffer _ very useful.
I wasn't aware that there was a heat problem with the i7 processors, my dv8 runs at around 42 to 52 degrees, mind you I don't really put it under much load. I use it to play Blu-ray ISO files on my projector and for photo editing (Adobe CS4), it's an 820QM.
I have also changed the thermal compound to ICDiamond and drilled holes in the speaker cover to improve air flow, that made a difference too.
@ abhishekmaha
Don't take my comment to seriously, although I think it has some truth to it, it was meant to poke a bit of fun at you.
Heat has always been one of the biggest factors when it comes to any computer, designers try to make them thinner, lighter and cheaper and those types don't work for gaming very well. They're OK for the occasional one, but not on a regular basis. I believe that if you game on any machine that was not meant for it, you will not get 4 years out of it _ 2 years.
I wish I could tell you different, but I am not going to lie to you.
Heat basically affects 3 things on a laptop, the solder that holds the components on the motherboard, any mechanical moving parts, eg the hard drive, fan _ and the battery. You can remove the battery to prolong its life when gaming.
Heat breaks down the solder over time and the mother board simply stops working as far as the hard drive, it stops spinning because the tiny bearing(s) in there dry out and seize up.
If you don't want to use a cooling mat then prop up the back of the laptop, hanging it over the edge of the table will expose the fan intake, but will block off other vents.
60 degrees is a bit warm too, 50 is better or rather, the cooler the better. What ever machine you get, make a note of what the temps are when you first boot up and when it's hot. The idea is to get an average so you can judge when it is dangerously getting hot.
P.S. Be sure and give Huffer a kudos too.

Which is better for gaming Java or C++?

a friend of mine told me that C++ is better for gaming, but i'm not sure. the thing about C++ is that i've been studing it for the past 3 years and still don't have a strong grasp of it, but java is much more direct and i'd much rather develop my games in java.

I have finished to programme a game (Space Commanders) using pure java
http://www.geocities.com/ddmusc/SpaceCommanders. Now I am re-programming the game using Visual C++ . Once I finish I shall put the windows version on the same site. It will be an interseting example of differences in performance between java and C++.
For programming I think java is easier since it takes automatic control of memory. Problems such as wild pointers , memory leaks and this kind of stuff are not an issue in Java. Unfortunately this is in itself also a disadvatage since you don't have much control on the amount of memory java is allocating (and at what time it deallocates it).
Java is also a bit slower because of its automaticity and high level structure. What makes me a bit angry about java is that programmes are normally CPU intensive. It is difficulty to run java programmes on old computers such as 486 or Pentium 1. This reduces the portability of the programme which though it can run on many different OSs it can't run on many different computers.

sorry i had lots of typos

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows 7. Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or parallels

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows . Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or Parallels

The Intuit rep said they don't "support" QuickbooksPremier on a "virtual machine." Do you know what I risk by using it, anyway? thanks for the advice about Boot Camp vs Parallels, BTW!
I use QuickBooks Pro for Mac, so I haven't had need to try any of the Windows versions in a VM. But I can't think why it wouldn't work. From within the VM, QuickBooks Premier would believe it is operating on PC hardware within Windows.
I would guess they mean that the multiple user support wouldn't work from within the VM. But I would think that would also work. Windows can see the Internet from within the VM, which means it can see your network. So if Windows can see the network, then QB Premier should be able to, too.
I know you can get Parallels as a demo, and maybe you could get QB Premier as trial software. So if you already have a retail copy of Windows to load into a VM, it would only cost you time to test what's possible.

What is better for flowmeter totalization

What is better for flowmeter totalization, a pulsetrain or current loop? I have the option of using a pulsetrain or a 4-20mA loop. Would I have to integrate if the current loop is chosen?

If you use flowmeters with switch-type sensing (flips over when a given fluid chamber is full), your input signal is digital: a pulse.
It is most obvious to use a counter (available on many DAQ-cards) to totalise the amount of pulses.
Integration of analog signals (like 4-20mA) may give trouble due to drift (non-zero inputs).

What is better for a MBP, shut down or sleep?? when you go to bed.

hi everyone, my question is, what is better for a MBP, to shut it down o sleep, i undestand to pun it into sleep when you go out for a time, or you need to move, but what shoul i do when i go to bed and the mac won´t be use for about 8 hours.
thanks regards

If you don't have any documents or programs open that need to stay open for the night then give your Mac a rest and Shut it down.
If you're updating or have stuff loaded that you want to start back on right in the morning, you could just put it to sleep so you're all set for the morning(make sure you plug it in though). It's personal preference really.

What is better for RIA - FLEX or Silverlight?

What is better for RIA - FLEX or Silverlight? Any experience
here...
" Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 beta availability. Optimized for
the Web, Microsoft Silverlight enables developers and designers to
easily use existing skills and Visual Studio and Expression Studio
tools to deliver media experiences and rich interactive
applications. Silverlight works with any back-end Web platform or
technology, seamlessly integrating with existing infrastructure and
applications, including Apache and PHP, as well as JavaScript and
XHTML on the client. Beta 1.0 includes a go-live license, which
means customers can deploy their Silverlight applications in
production. Final availability of Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 is
scheduled for summer 2007."
Best Regards
Attila

I imagine that the Microsoft folks are really proud of
Silverlight -- I mean, they have been fighting the shift that the
Internet has caused from the beginning--pure client/server dies
hard. From the MS-only folks, Silverlight is a breath of fresh AIR.
I am glad that Microsoft has finally seen the RIA wisdom and joined
in with the rest of the world. I mean, how long was Java on the
scene before C# magically appeared; I am glad that they finally saw
the writing on the wall.
Personally, I don't care if you use Flex or Silverlight; just
that you use whatever for the right reasons. Flex has ample
documentation for me and the example apps far outshine anything
that I have seen in Silverlight. I found Flex to be pretty simple
to learn too. As Silverlight was only announced in April 2007, I
seriously doubt that "shakro" has actually gotten around to doing
any real work -- Flex at least has been around since 2004. I know a
lot of people that are building production-grade Flex/AIR
applications. I don't know anyone that is seriously considering
using Silverlight.
But then, that is my circle --- take my experience with a
grain of salt. Just also make sure to take the Microsoft fanboys
with a grain of salt too.

What is better for a fast MBP sleep or shutdown

Hi
is it okay to shutdown the computer instead of sleep like 4 time in 24 hours?
I would like to know what's best for the MBP. because I shut it down like once every three days or so. But when I leave it sleeping a lot of times I come and find it dead and needs to be plugged. So I'm thinking of shutting it down more often to save the battery.
what do you think?
P.S. running Lion OS X 10.7.2

If the computer will not be used for more than 8 hours then it would be better to shut it down and save power. Otherwise, use sleep. However, if you will leave the computer near an AC outlet then connect the AC adaptor. Use the battery when you cannot connect to an AC outlet.

What is better for security? WPA2 or Access control

I have a Airport express and 2 computers; a Mac and a PC.
When it come to securing your wi-fi connection so you don't get unauthorized clients on your network.
What is better
A- Just using encryption like WPA2 or some other password based system or
B- Just entering the "Airport ID" (MAC) of the computers I want to authorize in my network on the Access control panel.
Seems to me like the later is easier on the clients since they don't need a password or anything, It's completely transparent for the client. And I believe encryption slows down the connection a bit and create overhead for the computer. But maybe I don't have the full picture of the situation.
Is there anybody who can illuminated this subject for me?
thanks
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

WPA2 is virtually uncrackable only really vulnerable if you use a real word as a password.
When using access control, MAC addresses are sent unecrypted can be read and spoofed and therefore do not add any security.
Unfortunately "Closed" networks, MAC access control lists, and reduction in transmission power are all more "feel good" security rather than real security. All these various approaches are dated and mistakenly lead to overconfidence.
WPA is your friend if you value wireless security.
