i only have a 512mb ram(1 gig total, hal ram drive other half normal use) drive and i would never go back.
tho with only a 512 ram drive i can't have all of my games loading from it, i do have all my mmost commonly played CS and DoD maps loading from it.
so to sum it up, if u need more hd space, u have no choice but to get another hd,
else get more ram and make a ram drive for gaming(if you so incline)

RAM caps out on most of today's games. I've found that 768 MB of RAM is about the limit needed for games today. It may change next year, but it won't change *that* much. Hell, There was no difference in 3d Mark 2001 scores when I upgraded from 512 MB to 768. 512 MB is the amount that I'd make a requirement and 1 GB the max. Going over 1 GB just for gaming is overkill by far.
