Has anyone tried compared 64bit MAME with 2GB vs. more RAM?
05/17/11 10:26 PM


I'm considering going to Windows 7 64 bit on my MAME machine, but don't want to buy more RAM. I only have two slots and would not be able to use my existing 1 GB RAM sticks, if I want to increase.

Based on previous experiences with internet "common knowledge", I'm skeptical that adding 4GB of RAM will make much difference vs. just using 2GB, but would prefer confirmation from someone who has actually tested it on MAME 64 bit and Windows 7.

Heck, if anybody has such a setup with 4GB of RAM and would be willing to take two off and compare mace with 2GB vs 4GB, that would be terrific. You could run from the command line and use the following parameter to ensure consistent testing and look at the resulting average frame percentage:
-seconds_to_run 90

Just throwing it out there, in case anyone would volunteer.
