Increased Memory Density --- Performance Hit?
does system memory density matter? |

Gaming Benchmarks part II
One of the most sensitive benchmarks with respect to memory performance is still 3DMark2001, even if the overall score may not show the big difference, the "Lobby" scene will reveal those differences more than any of the other benchmarks within.
3DMark2001SE
Red bars: 2 GB total, gray bars: 1 GB total system memory.
Low Detail
Red bars: 2 GB total, gray bars: 1 GB total system memory: The only scene that shows a difference is the Lobby scene.
High Detail
Red bars: 2 GB total, gray bars: 1 GB total system memory. Only the Lobby shows any differences.
Nature and High Polygon Count
Nature is usually limited by the graphics adapter and high Polygon in D3D still does not usually stress the AGP / memory subsystem enough to show a difference.
Red bars: 2 GB total, gray bars: 1 GB total system memory.
