May 27, 2015, 17:45	Question on RAM	#1
jhint9 New Member Joshua Hinton Join Date: May 2015 Location: Boca Raton, FL Posts: 7 Rep Power: 11	This is probably a simple question for those who know way more about computers than I do. I am in the process of obtaining more processors and RAM to efficiently run my simulation. It's a large simulation that has already taken over a day to complete, and I have an option to obtain more RAM. From my understanding and experience, RAM does more for visuals, rendering, and memory than it does help processing speed. Has anybody had experiences where increased RAM really does a lot for your simulation? What would the major benefits be?
