nope you can change it on windows and it works fine.

Well, for me it doesn't. I struggled with it for at least half an hour until I found (I think) an article that said 32bit Java can't use more than 1GB. Before that I got errors everytime I tried with more than 1 GB.

You have then little more than 3Gb if you have 4gb in total, since 32bit detects only this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778%28VS.85%29.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7
lol and I can have 512Gb of Ram on my new Win 8 Pro :D, but I'm fine with 8Gb.

Yeah it says usable memory is 3.6GB but that's enough

You will have at most a real usable 3GB ram. The OS and other running processes use some. If something actually required 4GB, it would run poorly. Plus side, hardly any games "require" more than a couple GB.

Windows limits 32bit applications to 2GB of memory anyway, regardless of if you're running a 32bit or 64bit version of the OS.
There are exceptions with the flag set, but they generally not used since it causes a lot of problems if you don't have other applications that are aware of it.
The only games that support more then 2GB of ram are 64bit. So most games that are based on unreal 3 engine can make use of 64bit, if they were compiled for it. There are very few 64bit games on the market as it is, and even fewer 64bit only games.

Quite so. Here is a nice chart on this page.

thats not even true, it depends on what kind of x64 version you are using....

There's nothing commercially available that requires 4GB of RAM, because that would mandate a 64-bit OS.
Comment has been collapsed.
This. No game may require more than 2 GB because of this fact.

Dishonored does, and a 32bit OS can comprehend 4GB ram, just gives some to video and other things.
EDIT: apparently Steam now says Dishonored needs 3 but systemrequirementslab says 4

Skyrim doesn't require 4; in fact, there's a mod to make it use 4...

i don't know what kind of mods you've installed, but skyrim never goes above 1,9GB RAM usage for me.
with 2K textures, "SMIM", "WATER" and the bethesda HD textures installed, it's capable of maxing out the 1,5GB of VRAM that my graphics card got with ease, resulting in bad stuttering tho.
also, the game's number 1 reason for crashes are, in fact, mods. (aka "the inability of some people, including myself, to read the mod's description properly")

So... it requires 4GB, but you can play it with less than that?
How does that even make sense, uh?
Comment has been collapsed.
RAM isn't all you need. If your CPU or Graphics card is crap, you won't be able to play anything... Just thought I'd point that out. (When I bought my computer, I didn't know that. :P )
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a bit obvious there... when in doubt, google is there to help.
Anyways, my recent build i was a bit clueless aswell since i was never on par with the technology in computers, so i informed myself on the best things for an accessable price, then made a build, voilá! A beast was born!

all things are needed to be good for a pc even the motherboard there is not thing that not play rule

Yes i know, my build is pretty much good and will work for the next 3-5 years for ultra quality gaming, even if i end up lacking later, i could just buy a new gpu, it's the only thing i might lack in an early stage sadly, and i think it was the most expensive component on my build. (wouldn't be if i waited for the 700 series which got announced a week later after buying the components for my build)

Eh...I have only 2 GB and I can run mostly any game, maybe some with lag, but I can still run them.I don't really know a game that won't run on 2 GB or RAM, but you should just try games that you know lagged before as long as it's not a CPU/Graphics card problem ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess if you have only 2 Gb and you add more, it will make a difference.If you have 16 and you add ore, yeah, it wouldn't.
But yeah,CPU and Graphics card are more important...
Comment has been collapsed.
It does,
Simple example; my friend has a 1 GB ram and he can't even Alt + Tab anything.It tooks 2 mins to Alt + Tab to desktop and go back to game.I got 4 and it tooks 4 seconds to do that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got 16GB and it takes less than a second to do it, so yeah it does count. :rolleyes:
But i would recommed 8GB enough for the next 5 or so years. Don't think gaming technology is going to advance that much further next generation, so it should pay out.

I started playing it, then because of random crashes I'll wait for the next update.

People, please stop talking about CPU and video cards, because I have good ones. Not the most amazing ones out there but I can run just about anything. The only thing restricting me was my RAM but now I've upgraded it, that's why I was asking.

Using google didn't get me too much, that's why I turned to the community.

Hitman Absolution may be near the 4GB ram recommendation

I have to get back into Dwarf Fortress and somehow make myself play it until I actually lose. With most games I lose interest after a couple of days or weeks, but maybe this time it'll be different.

Hardware requirements
3 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)

Starforge has 4gb RAM listed as its minimum requirement...

Not really 4 GB, but I recall Oblivion being 3.2 GB when I was installing it on Steam. I was surprised when I saw this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh, I have sadly just noticed this.
I saw something about space and I immedietally assumed space on the harddrive.
Still, Oblivion can take up a lot of RAM. Well, the Fallout / Elder Scrolls series, really.

I just got an upgrade so I want to try new games which I couldn't before. So now I ask this great community to point me in the direction of games that require 4GB of RAM. Also if you can, please avoiding repeating something someone else already said.
